I have had my share of one off pieces made for me over the years, and here is the problem. First you will a none CF piece to make the mold, and if your car is modified you will need to have the none CF piece fitted which means back a forth with the part (could be many times), My cab was apart for over a year (I redesigned many of the parts in the chassis made from lightweight materials) and I lost count of how many times the parts went back and forth. My advise talk to who makes your body kit maybe they know of someone who has done this. If not you might be looking at a small fortune to do this.

Okay if the kit is one off, then I have a suggestion. Unless they have the car there making CF for a one time use is going to be a hard (and likely expensive) task. I have never seen any part made without a mold done right the first time, so I suggest you have them made it in something far less expensive first, once they fit perfectly, then send the part to a CF maker and let them either use them to make a copy if CF or coat them.

I wish it was insight, but it is past experience and costly mistakes that I have made myself.
