I need to make a heat shield to protect the bumper and other parts from muffler heat.  The current shield on my car is made of thin aluminium.  Can I use aramid alone or together with carbon fiber to make such a piece?

As said, its not a problem with the fibres, be it carbon or aramid, but a function of resin TG. You realistically need to measure what the temperature gets upto then decide what to do from there.
