Default CarbonFibre / kevlar Body work

HI
Im thinking of getting my body work done in Carbonfibre or at least let people think its all made of carbonfibre / Kevlar.

what i intend to do (not sure if its possible to do) is buy the body then place a sheet of Real carbonfibre or kevlar and resin it in.(Mainly because its cheaper )

it would be nice to hear what you think

Thanks
Dean

Don't waste you money as it will look crap and will require buckets of laquer to smooth it out.
