Does it have to be carbon? We are a similar height, and ride bikes roughly the same size, so therefore not a vast amount of seatpost showing, so it's not like we get a huge amount of flex/damping deflection from them. Velo Orange do a glossy black alu one with subtle graphics, and as you're not averse to taking a hacksaw to parts, you could hack quite a bit off.
