no idea about the durability of aquagrafix as the spark plug cover but might be worth looking into.
Seen that kinda thing and its not my personal taste. Has to be real carbon fibre or none at all

far too much hassle when I could buy a Chinese made copy made from real carbon fibre from eBay.com that has the logo on it for cheaper than the PFV one

Or just be a brand snob and hold out for a genuine one haha

Awwwwww... Pre preg.... That stuff looks the biz to work with... Wet layup on carbon is such a crappy way of doing it. I'd love to buy the stuff to have a propper crack at this, might invest in the stuff after christmas...
