Now, this is important... Carbon Fiber dust is not something you want have flying all around the room... so I recommend when cutting, wet the carbon first and keep it as wet as possible while you work (this will reduce the dust effect)... Also a well ventilated work space is good... Some face protection is needed... A cutoff wheel will be good for the initial shapes... The detailed stuff can be made with a tungsten carbide cutting bit... A sanding drum and some sanding paper (200 to 600 grit) is always nice to clean up the ruff stuff...
Any reason why you don't want to have the design cut on a CNC?

Great! I can't wait to get started! Thanks for all the advice, I'll follow it to a T.
I don't know if I could get it done on a CNC I'm sure there is at least one in town, but what would they need from me. Are you thinking about making some to match your chassis?
