          go to TAP plastics for all your carbon fiber needs.
          or

          get some wax paper.
          glue it to a cardboard form (get it wet to create custom shapes) let it dry, glue wax paper on top.

          add another sheet of wax paper.

          lay down some resin/ and fiberglass (or c.f.) and trim away any run-off when it turns to jelly.
          allow it to cure.

          trim. and then make some mounting tabs.
          dont forget to stamp it with idanity !
