I think he wants the carbon fiber itself, not made into anything yet.

there is a place out of florida i ordered some from a while back. it wasnt too expensive, about twice what fiberglass costs. i dont remember the name of it but to be honest im not a big fan of working with it. i work with fiberglass ALL the time. i mold body kits and do some repair work after school untill i can find a real job. with fiberglass you dont let it stay as it is when its hardened, its either gell coated or body filled and painted, so you dont have to get the lines going right. theyre are usualy special machines that make carbon fiber products (im not positive on that but thats what i was told. id hate to be the guy that layed it by hand). i believe they use a vaccum molding process that pulls clear resin down into a 3D mold through and around the carbon material. my advice...leave it up to the professionals its not worth the trouble and money to try it ;)
