A ninjette with 100% carbon fiber body?

A buddy of mine hit some gravel on a corner and slid his cracking all the fairings on the right hand side. Then, to add insult to injury, the bike hit the curb, and flipped over onto the left side and broke all those fairings too :P
So his bike is totaled! Cosmetically speaking... the slide was low speed, so its probably okay mechanically speaking (but thats not what this thread is about)...

I was thinking of lending him my fairings as molds so that he could fabricate some new ones. The grand total to have all 7 fairings replaced was just over $900. Since we are college students, I would think that he could make fiberglass parts for much cheaper... He suggested carbon fiber...

Do you think it would look good??

And to VeX, how much do you think that much carbon fiber, resin and bondo would cost?
