You can buy carbon fiber online. From hobbyking, from e-bay, composites suppliers. Generally comes in a 50" wide roll, and you buy it by the yard. It's not cheap, usually around $50ish for the linear yard. You can sometimes get lucky and find companies that sell decent size cutoffs for a good price. Or someone on here who may have cutoffs can help you out. Basically you cut it as required to fit nicely into the hull, lay it in, and use epoxy resin mixed with a hardener to saturate the CF. Don't over saturate as it will just pool to the lowest point and create unneccessary weight. Also, when you cut it, you will always loose a few strands of the weave, so you should tape the edges when cutting.

It's really not that complicated. The problem is that the stuff to do it is not really sold in small amounts. So you won't really do it cheap.
