crazy with carbon

ok heres a question that happens when your mind runs wild.

you know how gm trucks have a headliner that is one piece. its like pre molded carboard with the fabric on it. would it be possible to have a semi piece molded headliner for a bug out of carbon fiber?

or is there a fabric material that simulates cf?

just an idea.

yes its been done

Ive seen it on cars in Europe.
They use really thin carbon so that they can bend it to shape.

i answered some of this in the ragtop post. but, headliner goes in next week i hope. total custom job by interior guy in west GA. he will be using the same material as on my momo seats. it is basically just modern foam headliner material. i have not gone over the mounting method yet though. so don't know that yet.
