Your best bet would be to get standard items wrapped in carbon vinyl.

A carbon splitter would die instantly.

It's going to brake sooner or later

It's not heavy anyway, why wouldn't you be happy with CF vinyl if you're going for the look

Easy to steal, I'm sure it wouldn't last that long on the car

+1 agree might aswell get it wrapped if that's the style you're going for. It will most likely be stupidly expensive & custom made, not many places (if anywhere) will sell them online.

At the end of the day carbon fibre; real or fake, it's going to look chavvy.

You'd be hard pushed to find a carbon splitter for less than £150 and it won't last a week if you're running low.

Seems like a lot of expense and a lot of risk for something which is essentially disposable.
