carbon fiber parts from a mold are a pain if you are going for the cosmetic look, you would need epoxy resin w/ low viscosity, vacuum pump for infusion along with all the fittings and vacuum bag, sprial wrap, etc.

your weight savings will not be significant between cf and glass for such a thin laminate

plus, cf is soo overpriced now that Boeing bought out almost all suppliers, best price I have right now is $55/yd.

unless you are doing a cf part and then painting it a solid color, than its like glassing
