So,
Carbon fiber is 6 times stronger than steel.

here are my thoughts.

take off the outer rocker.
Fix the rust with new steel.
sandblast the area
Lay on a layer of CF directly to the inner long front to back, wrap in to the bottom and top horizontal layers.

when using CF and bonding it to steel, I have read that you would use an epoxy resin to bond it directly to the steel, so it would be the same as putting por 15 on steel (por 15 is an epoxy layer)

So, thoughts? plus, minus?
