it is a 3mm thick 1k weave (very tight weave), laid-up carbon. the kickup has been made on this particular chassis by using a torch to heat up the carbon at the location where the angle is needed and then bending it slightly and cooling. i got this tip from someone here on RCM and it has worked very well. however, i am waiting on a matched tool to be made so that the carbon can be made with kickup in the piece.
