do you want real CF (of course you do!) or the fake stuff (noooo)
i think CBS, premier wiring, svc, etc all do fake CF ones
edit, there you go

Have you looked into the led strips for lighting your plate.
Its small and makes for a less cluttered rear
one thing i saw was back lit plates nice but costly less is more
However one must remember rust is lighter than carbon fibre

Why not use the 3M Di-noc carbon fiber film?

I watched on discover channel an episode of WHEELER DEALERS where they used the 3M Di-noc film and the result was superb. Lamborghini uses the same
stuff for they're cars in matte colors.

I got my Carbon Fibre number plate light from www.carbonwezel.co.uk. They do two, the old Mini style and the newer Mini style. I got the old style.
