Wow, I've never considered carbon fiber for kick pannels, but wouldn't this be very hard to work with?

Also, since carbon fiber is fairly thin, wouldn't it have poor damping properties?

We buy our carbon fiber from Industrial Plastics, good quality but quite expensive. http://www.ippnet.com/index_tree.htm

Check them out and compare.

Everything I say is so important, it should be read twice.
