Need Carbon fiber rear flares

Ok folks.... Some of you know my car, and others do not. My car is affectionately named B.O.B. for (Bucket Of Bolts). There is NOTHING stock on my car. The entire front of my car is clear gelcoat carbon fiber and 99% of the parts were made my M. A. Shaw and are from 1997!!!! M.A. Shaw made some truly incredibly great quality parts back in the day. As a testament to his quality, they are still on the car to this very day (the gelcoat has yellowed a touch, and the front GT2 style front bumper and splitter has some rock chips in it, as this car gets driven...HARD!)

I am wanting to find out who makes either stock 930 width rear flares in a clear gelcoat carbon fiber, or possibly a 934/935 width style flare in the same clear gelcoated carbon fiber. These need to be A SHOW car quality finish.... NOT a GT Racing, racecar quality, 10 footer quality!!!!! I can not stress this enough. My front GT2 style front bumper I had to source from Better Bodies, and they did such a *****ty job on their quality, I had a good 40 or so hours just to get it to the same level as the rest of the parts from M.A. Shaw were, out of the box.

So, since I have been out of the game for a decade or more, who has the BEST QUALITY parts in CF out there today??? These also have to fit as good as a reproduction part can (I get that they are not going to be 100% perfect like a factory steal piece would be), but they can be close.

I have been talking with Brian Bodart as he is getting into the game, but I do not think he will be ready this year to have the parts in production. I do not know if I can wait that long, as on the left rear flare, I have a bubble in the paint around the area where the factory weld is for the flare. I want to address that, before it gets any worse, and what a better time to go all Cf then after addressing that issue
