tbh carbon fibre is pretty weak ( the kind they use in bonnet anyway) when bent or put under vertical pressure. its only good under tensile and to a certain extent compressive strain. i think it would be okay to strip it as it would be as strong if not a bit stronger than a carbon fibre bonnet. all you need to do is put a couple of spacers on your bonnet hinges (the ones nearest your windscreen) so the back of the bonnet is higher than the front. this is what most people do when getting a carbon fibre bonnet. but i aint sure about the insurance.
