Whatever I go with, I'm aiming for something inexpensive off of ebay or similar. In part, so that if it doesn't work out, I won't have dumped too much money into it.
The parts I've discussed so far should be available in Carbon fiber so it may be a tad expensive but won't break the bank too much. I'm sure other materials will be available depending on the demand. I'm willing to bet if we do a group pre order they will definitely cut some price. They may send me some pieces to test fit and I'll send some pics on the car along with the renderings
