Erm, no. Why on earth would you need a carbon fibre one? Is there any reason why you feel the standard plastic item is structurally inadequate?

Situation remains that you'll have a hell of a job finding one.

Just goes to show that even the "pointless carbon fibre product" manufacturers know there are better things to make than airboxes.

How about a CF battery box to keep things symmetrical under the hood?

Oddly enough BPM do a carbon air box for an Impreza

Matches their Induction Kit.

That's not a replacement for the standard airbox Stef, it's a heatshield/cold air kit designed to fit the BPM cone filter.

Not sure if it's what you want but BMC do a Carbon Dynamic Airbox which may be of interest. Click here for details (click on Products to search for stuff suitable for the Impreza).
