Carbon Fiber?

I am curious if anyone knows of any companies that work with carbon fiber (other than fiber images)...I know some companies can wrap things in carbon fiber etc. Thanks...

I'm going to send them some pics of the plastic housing that holds my side mirrors and have it wrapped in carbon fiber. This company can generally custom cut anything....

Have you tried this company ?? I've talked to them a couple of times, and they seem to be easy to get along with. I was trying to get a GB together for CF hoods for 3rd gens, but I think that fell through...

I am a Maxima newbie, previously owning a 97 Transam for a long time, and have a question. Why carbon fiber? Looks? Weight?

Looks. The black plastic **** on the door pillars and mirros look horrible after a while.

It sticks on with heavy duty 3M tape on the back of it. Hasn't peeled or faded in over a year of owning the stuff
