I had planned and already started to build my own carbon chassis, but solving the kickup-problem stopped me.

Read the whole thread- he heated up the front end and formed the kickup, then let it set at that angle. He is also working on getting the CF laid onto a mould to pre-form the angle, rathe than doing it retrospectively.

Just bolting the parts in place will cause the front end to naturally curve, but this isnt ideal as it stresses the CF and makes it more likely to snap. Measuring the stock chassis to get the required angle, then laying the CF on a wooden mould and hitting it with a heatgun should give it the correct shape in the correct place.
