The Kevlar/Resin composite should be fine at any temperatures that your car will run in.  Problems could arise at any point where there is a bolted on attachment.  whenever two materials with different coefficient of thermal expansion are mechanically fastened, there could be resulting damage with variations of temperature.  Metals expand and contract with applied heat much more than laminated composites.
