I checked with a guy who does carbon fiber professionally and he advised me that I would not save any weight at all by using carbon fiber for floorboards. What I did for the baggage area was to use the lightweight aluminum that came with the kit (I think it was .020) and made swiss cheese out of it. Then I covered it with Oratex. The result is very light and should be plenty strong. It looks "okay" but it's in the back and it will pretty much always be covered with survival gear and day stuff. For the cabin floorboard, I couldn't live with the lightweight aluminum that came with the kit, so I bumped it up (I think .032).
