if you've never worked with it before, you might wanna practice with something easy, like a spark plug cover.

why? they already make: doors, hood, fenders, roof, trunk, spoiler, generator, front bumper, lips, side skirts all in carbon. itd be much easier to just buy it all then get a reputable company to make anything thats not carbon in carbon and be done with it

Carbon Kevlar isn't anything new, you can get many panels both interior and exterior. Most of the companies that stock them are in Europe mainly for rally cars. They also have carbon kevlar panels that cover the entire underside as well as wheel wells.
