Default Carbon Fairings

Hi,
Been looking through some pictures on my computer today and found a picture of a curvy with carbon fibre fairings on it... does anyone know who makes these?
Ideally I'd like carbon lowers as I'm spending some money doing mine up with lots of carbon bits (hugger, exhausts, exhaust guards, heel plates etc) and I recon carbon lower fairings would look the nuts.
Cheers
Dan

Could take a leaf out of tygaboy's book and make your own, or there was someone on here covered a set of fairings in carbon-effect tape stuff.

Actual carbon parts on a highly modified bike are OK, see zadars carbon-kevlar fuel tank...

I'd liken that to a burberry shooting jacket, rather than the burberry baseball cap that is carbon-effect tape

I know of a place that used to make a replica OEM one piece top fairing in carbon fibre, but not lower fairings. Are you sure it is carbon fibre or carbon look, as mentioned above?

Carbon fibre looks good but in small doses I reckon!
