I could be wrong but I thought the OP was looking into
bonding flat sheets (already autoclaved) onto flat areas of the chassis, where reinforcement is desired. So basically buying some sheets (from the link below), cutting them or having them waterjet cut to fit a flat area of the chassis.

As stated, real carbon fiber composite components are compression molded and cured in an autoclave.
Most of the carbon fiber hoods and parts you see are just simply carbon fiber mat used in place of common fiberglass mat, and is not any stronger than the fiberglass counterpart.
To have true structural carbon fiber components is very spendy.
At some point the fiberglass repair shown above will separate from the metal in some way. It might last a long time, but it will happen.
+1 .... I agree,
if my assumption was correct ........ the Eglass picture above is not what the OP had in mind.
For bonding 'pre-autoclaved' flat carbon sheets, one would only need the Hysol epoxy bond I noted above. With proper prep it would be a very nice, light weight reinforcement.
I may consider doing this on some areas
