OEM-style carbon fiber fenders?

I see ugly fenders with Z3 vents and strange cuts and grilles... I just want an ultra light-weight copy of my OEM CRX fender. Where can I get one of these? Anyone have one? Any idea of the weight savings here?
Thanks!

The weight savings between a stock OEM metal fender and a CF fender is minimal maybe 2 lbs. I have seen them but can't remember where.

That little, ey? Ok. Any little shaving/saving tricks for a fender, like de-webbing a hood?

Dude...you ever pick up a stock fender? It's crazy thin sheet metal with no reinforcement. They don't weigh ****.
