There was a vendor called IPT who made CF engine covers, but they disappeared from the forum. I heard the guy (Parker) was very hard to reach lately, not sure if they still do exist at all. A bunch of people were waiting for stuff from him, that's what I remember - so I would proceed with caution anyway.
He also sold his products on eBay a while ago. Haven't seen them for a while, so IPT might have ceased to exist.

I would highly recommend you don't use these guys. They made my A Pillars and they are not very good. Fit & finish is way off.

I got mine from carbonwerks.com (guy's name was Leo) but he hasn't been answering lately and didn't deliver some rx8club.com members stuff. I think he went out of business.
