carbon fiber pannels Options

[95st-celica]

alright i was wondering what carbon fiber pannels are aviable for our cars...i know we can get hoods and hatches...but can we get doors? or does anyone even make CF doors for our cars? CAN anyone make carbonfiber doors...also is there anything else thats actual carbon fiber (not wrapped) that we can buy? doors, fenders, etc..

As an example of the former, here is a company that makes door cards for the Supra:
