why would anyone go through the bother of making these? The amount of CF it would take to make it work would drive costs through the roof.

Carbon Fiber isn't expensive, The labor and the prep is what drives the cost up.
It would be no different then if it was made from fiberglass plus a couple of dollars for the added cost of CF over fiberglass

what possible gains (other than looking cool) would the lager UIM do?

Honestly i see little to no gains with a CF UIM unless it was a totally diff design.
The benifits of CF over Fiberglass is Carbon fiber is stronger, then star adding in carbon/kevlar weaves and its even better

Mike's a sarcastic douche bag all the time? The guy who did all the legwork to get Morette's up and running? The guy who designed the CEG calendar 2 years running? The guy who has done countless photoshops for people over the years? That Mike, right? 
Was Mike out of line? Sure. But to say he's a "sarcastic douche bag all the time?" is way out of line.
If you had bothered to look under the hood of something besides the Contour, you would see that plastic - not metal - is primarily used now for UIMs. Between my family and the fiance's family - 11 cars. Only one has (had) a metal UIM. Common knowledge.
I can only assume that Mike maybe had a bad day, was in a bad mood, whatever. Maybe he, like many of the vets, get a little irritated by the noobs:
1) not reading FAQs
2) not reading How-tos
3) not reading the Stickies
4) not using the Search
5) asking ridiculous questions like "How do I install a BOV without the turbo"
6) noobs crying and whining when they are told to read the FAQs, How-tos, Stickies, using Search
7) noobs piss poor attitudes when they don't get their way
8) noobs calling vets names
etc.
etc.
The hand-holding and butt wiping expected from the "me, me, me, now, now, now" generation is really freakin old.
