yes you have long been able to buy resin and sheets of CF to make your own CF parts, its not nearly as easy as it sounds though. You would also need to make a mold using the factory part you plan on duplicating in CF to cast from too. I tried this very unsuccessfully when I had the Z06... ofcourse I went big for a rear diffuser. Maybe I should have started small with door seals or something.
