lol, you guys dont have much idea about these things...
they use kevlar in bullet proof vests not carbon fibre.
i dont know how far you think your going to get with that 1m of carbon matting.. dont forget there has to be the mould made for the skin AND under bracing. adding to that if your keeping it in the raw carbon finish then you need to get the weave 100% right, correct orientation its not as easy as you may think. its easy to muck up. muck ups are costly.
$1400 maybe a little much for a smaller item like this, assuming its wetlay. if its dry then its a great price.
if a steel bonnet is 10kg, a replica (with full under bracing) is prob more like 4-5kg.
fiberglass is much cheaper to produce and is a fair bit lighter. id only go carbon if you where keeping it in the raw finish (.e. not painting it) but it would prob look really poxy.
