Berni,
you can use metal for the panels and have them painted to look like carbon fiber, I'll be offering this kind of Service soon if anyone is interested.
Sample picture coming soon. I can make your panel look like anything from carbon fiber to anything you can Imagine.
Had the idea in mind before you purchased the 360 from me.
Have experience building panels, attached is my Legacy panel.

> I am looking for feedback on the idea of using carbon fiber flat panels for the left and right sides of my instrument panel. I am installing a dual G3X system on the pilot side of the airplane and backup instruments on the co-pilot side. The center will be the audio panel, Garmin 530, Garmin SL40 and Garmin 330 Transponder. I am considering putting carbon fiber panels on the pilot and co-pilot sides and painting the center silver or covering it with silver colored leather.
