All you need to do is find a good ZX hood to use as a template to make a mold. Then you can put down a slightly undersized layer of fiberglass. Once that's cured, you can lay down a a couple layers of CF and epoxy. You'll need a big vacuum though to do the vacuum sealing!
There, did that bring it back on topic?
