I'm not too sure how familiar you guys are with this but thought I'd ask whether anyone has attempted with that technique. As far as I know, this is done with chopped carbon fiber strands under high pressure. At least that's how Audemars Piguet does it with their watches. Recently, Lamborghini started using this method as well for their Sesto Elemento concept cars.  Does anybody have a clue whether this can be done in a home-based environment or you need hi-tech machinery?

its not really new and only one step up from using loose fibre reinforced plastics.  Loose chopped carbon strands have been used as a reinforcement for plastic for a few years now and is seen in a few production car panels as well as else where.

Sure its not the same as a full woven laminate but for mass production its much simpler yet still offers a significant performance advantage over a non-reinforced plastic.
