Update time.. The laser (
http://www.engravingsolutions.com/ext.html ) did not work so well.

It started etching into the carbon,
but at the same time the epxoy melted causing the fabric to be fray

(same thing Ryu James experienced).
So, for now, I'm going to be using 3/16 Lexan to build the chassis hoping it will hold up until I find another option for cutting the carbon here.
Thanks for you help guys
