Carbon Fiber Fenders?

Looking around the interwebs I have yet to come across a solid carbon fender. The Genetic Micro Fender is carbon, sure, but likely not near stable enough to mitigate those small rattles/vibrations. Anybody find something more substantial out there?

Latt Developments did some. Fresh Tripe used to sell them, but do not seem to any more:

Actually if set up correctly these work ok. You may get a rattle when you hit some big potholes but otherwise they're fine. A bit of a faff if you have to take the rear wheel off a lot though and anyone riding behind you gets no protection whatsoever.Looking around the interwebs I have yet to come across a solid carbon fender.

Well I've just ordered some 'carbon effect' SKS Blades - ! £20 from chain reaction...
Never bothered with any Guards before - but now I ride with a brooks saddle I want to keep it dry .....like I didn't last sunday .....
If they rattle all over the place, I guess I just have to give in to Mrs Rollo's demands that I buy another bike.....

I think most mudguard rattling is due to the springy steel guard stays. If you're really industrious you can buy CF tubing, which will be more rigid, and fashion your own stays by epoxying on some ends for mounting. Some small dia. alu tubing could also accomplish the same thing but a little more weight. A lot of work for a little gain but you asked.0
