You can get carbon fibre panels at http://www.pimp-my-glider.com/ (no joke). ( I'm not affiliated, nor do i have any experience with them yet.)

Question - Should a panel be made solely of carbon fiber? I know it is strong/light but what might happen if my head hits it? Fibers imbedded in the skull? Is this better/worse than my fiberglass panel (DG)? I have seen aluminum backed carbon fiber panels which seems better - but do I want to hit aluminum. Or how about using the 3M "carbon fiber" (not real) film used in the auto industry? Lots o' questions!
