I started a company called KarbonWorx primarily manufacturing carbon fiber sunglasses. They've been my project for a while and after I finished modifying my car I fell in love with molding and making carbon fiber.
 I have them available on Amazon and my website, and if anyone is interested here I'd happily make a special coupon for enthusiasts such as us. I cut these from sheets and measure and shape them all by hand and push rivet in the hinges and sand it down. It takes a good bit of time but it is a really fun process and I really think you guys will like them. I mold car parts when I'm doing projects for my car and I've broken my glasses too many times - so I figured, dude, duh. My prescription lenses are in mine and my sunglasses are cut from a white carbon fiber base. 
Attached are pics of two of my close friends nice enough to model for me wearing my glasses.

And here's a closer view of the actual glasses because carbon is best admired within a short distance.

There's a few options for lenses currently for black frames. White are just blue and teal. 
Amazon Shop is here.
 
I appreciate all of your feedback. It's something I'm testing the waters with and I thank all of you for reading. 
Feel free to ask any questions, as well! I'll do my best to answer them.

Those are cool... I need prescription lenses in my glasses so getting sunglasses is a nightmare for me.  So when I buy sunglasses I have to have the lenses replaced..
