You would have to make or buy new flanges, and install them properly on the CF driveshaft & steering collumn.
Here's another one:
CF Undercarriage protection, skid plates, and rear diff guard!

a CF piece under the car would probably get destroyed, simply because it's not the most resistant material to cracking and shattering. metals do better since they dent rather than crack.
that said, i'll second the idea for a CF console, glove box, and even a center console. while you're at it, how 'bout a CF harness bar for 4 point harnesses?

"CF Undercarriage protection, skid plates, and rear diff guard"
Yes, these would not be good.
CF is not very impact resistant. It's "bending" resistant when used in conjuction with honeycomb structure (like an I-beam, strength increases with the square of the thickness) Basically it's hard to tear.
Driveshaft I don't even know what a driveshaft looks like...
"Someone already makes super heavy-duty thich kevlar undercarriage protection"
Actually I have Kevlar too, I might do that! Do you have a link to who makes it?
"a CF replacement for the stock airbox/intake" Easy.
"u should make urself a wing...." I am, to go with the CF zerosports risers.
The wallet...you need more tailoring skills than CF skills to make that.
I'll report back to y'all in a few months...
I'm definately going to work on an engine dressup kit someday, all this just take craploads of time b/c the layers have to oven dry, and I'm using a super-ghetto-oven that was made out of 2X4's, foam, and ghetto heating coils(tungsten wire attached to a transformer and an AC-DC converter and a few resistors and a fuse to prevent explosions).
