Carbon Fiber CARB Intake?

Is there a carbon fiber, CARB approved short ram intake for the 2003 Z's? I found some carbon fiber ones, but they aren't CARB approved. Does anyone know of a brand that makes one? I prefer ram intake.

That sounds like a good idea, JWT pop charger with the CARB sticker, and just stick it on the CF tube. I'm pretty sure that voids the CARB legality, but most cops wont know right?

California is CRAZY strict about modifications. Everything must be CARB approved, if you put the CARB approval sticker on a part that isn't the same part (probably including something as silly as switching from a aluminum intake tube to a CF tube with the exact same shape) they would not be happy.

Luckily I don't live there. I just have to put up with this totally ridiculous heat. *sigh*
