Or you could go with the high dollar route and get a hold of RE Amemiya. Just remember this, within the span of just a couple of years that nice looking red CF will fade and you'll be left with a nasty looking pink CF. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I've worked with the stuff personally and it does fade. Just a head's up.

Ummmm....could also be red Kevlar fabric. Carbon Kevlar weaves come in red, blue, and yellow. AFAIK...colored Kevlar would not fade when used as desired here.

The biggest problem with aftermarket automotive composites is that some people use non UV resistant resin. For the most part, with the naked eye you can't tell one type of cured resin from another and thus won't know that the part doesn't have a UV stable resin until the resin starts yellowing with time.
