Make sure you have some face mask and do it outdoors if you're cutting carbon fiber. The shavings off CF are nasty stuff, you don't want to breathe it in... If you want to kludge it, you can moisten a t-shirt and tie it around your nose and mouth...

Since your going to basically use it for a skid plate-cover for the chassis go to ebay and look around. I would think you would want like 1-1.5mm and the tightest weave you can get. Why not use G-10?
