Carbon fiber cooling plate and battery covers?

I'm looking for CF cooling panels and a bettery cover as seen on DGRR FD.
Where can I source some? The cooling panels I found didn't look like they would fit with a Trust SMIC.

Any polyester resin works but you could buy pre-made flat pieces of carbon already so you could just cut it to shape.

But if you want to start from scratch what i did was get some kind of flat board preferably glass, lay the 2x2 carbon, wet with resin, lay core mat http://www.rayplex.com/tek9.asp?pg=p...ific=jmnncpfpo, wet with resin and last layer of 6 oz fiberglass cloth just use excess resin from previous layers.

But probably cheaper if you buy pre-made carbon sheets.

After some looking around seems like it might be cheapest to try and make the piece. If anyone has a good site they have used please post. Found this one so far:
