I made sure that all of the above are made of REAL carbon fiber, none of that "Carbon look!" crap. This is just about all I could find. Now I realize, they need to make a full CF hatch for the eclipse, as well as other CF body panels....hell, they make alot of CF Panels (I think...I know they make trunks, and fenders, also full fiberglass 1-piece frontends) for civics....CIVICS! What is the purpose of massproducing CF parts for an economy car? I mean the GS/RS are also some what of an economy car, but when your talking GST/X....lightweight parts may seem a bit more useful than on all that 120hp beast of a civic.

So for all you "Do-it-yourselfers" or anyone who wants to make a CF part that isn't being produced for your car, you can go here to get your colored/regular Carbon fiber sheets http://www.shopmaninc.com They've got this great new Kevlar/Carbon Fiber Hybrid weave (Yellow/Black)<- Found here: http://www.shopmaninc.com/hybrids.html. Looks great and is even stronger than plain old CF.

Also if its your 1st time doing CF yourself, carbon fiber isn't that much different than laminating fiberglass. The biggest difference is that you need to use epoxy resin instead of poly resin. As long as you have a good shaped and smooth substrate. Use something in the range of 6 to 12 oz cloth and be very careful to lay the cloth evenly using a bondo squeegee to spread the resin thoroughly into the cloth, let it set up overnight, (be sure not to disturb the cloth too much by spreading it too hard) and then follow with a good coat of clear gelcoat(clear will take forever to fill.)

However, this stuff is pretty neat/usefull to inexpierenced laminators:
