You would probably be amazed at how little carbon panels actually save you in terms of weight. I replaced a lot of panels on my track car with carbon a while agi, and the weight difference was 11kg. Dont get me wrong, the original items had been extensively lightened for track use, and 11kg was (in my eyes at the time) a decent enough saving to justify the ridiculous cost to have one off panels made. But it wouldnt be for everyone.
