I'd think that modern CF would be much better than Kevlar from the 80s. CF should be a better fit for body panels. It's very repairable, light, stiff, etc. Most people weren't messing with CF much in the 80s and 90s because the technology wasn't there yet/accessible and fiberglass/kevlar type panels and composites were far more common. Aluminum body panels is another way to save weight, but they dent easily (see my WRX). Modern CF using UD layups is extremely strong for the weight.
