Default Carbon body

Where can I buy a carbon fiber body or full fiberglass body for a tubeframed car?

Thanks

I can get you a carbon fiber 01 civic shell. It will cost 7,000 tho if you want it in carbon. Fiberglass is half that.

I would have to ask my fiberglass guy, it wouldn't take too long since he already has the mold and everything, probably a month or so. Let me know if your serious, i can find out.

Anywhere you can get carbon fiber parts for replacements of the stock body other than doors, fenders, and trunk lids/hatches? Like the rear quarter panels, doors, etc?

The guy can do it but unfortunitly he would need a mold of the stuff that you want carbon fibered and it cost a lot to do a mold because it takes time. If you dont mind spending the cash then he can do it without a problem.
