Composite of what?  

Many plastic materials are available through your local plastics supply house.   Check the business yellow pages.     Most will stock or can obtain plastics of varying thicknesses.   In bulk, the sheets come in 4x8 foot sheets (like plywood).  The plastic house can cut to whatever size your buddy needs.

^^ What he said.  What specifically is your friend looking for?  Styrene, ABS plastic, Carbon Fiber, Jabroc?

My mistake - typing without thinking - he is looking for carbon fibre sheets.

Sorry

Just the CF fabric, or resin-impregnated panels?

Biggest selection is probably at McMaster-Carr:

And these guys specialize in the stuff.  You can get the fabric for your own layup project.  Nice folks, I've purchased from them before:
