Have you bought the carbon fibre cloth yet ?
If not, and if you're not wanting the carbon to be visible, you could consider using twill weave glassfibre instead.
I did this when I made my handguards.
The end result is just as thin and light as carbon would have been (its the resin that adds the bulk of the weight, I guess) and the appearance is the same once painted. Most folk think they are carbon actually.
I still used epoxy resin though.
And the glass cloth is significantly cheaper.
