I am looking to build an extremely aerodynamic light weight velomobile fairing with compound curves.

I can't use Nomex Honeycomb since the holes will fill up with resin.

Searching has not revealed the best possible appropriate resin infusion core material so I have to ask.

Ideally a material that can conform to compound curves and is about 9mm thick for high stiffness and most importantly work with resin infusion.

Layup will be:
200g Carbon Twill
Core material about 9mm
200g Carbon Twill
60g Aramid (carbon splinter protection)

This has been bothering me so thank you if you can help me find the best appropriate core material.
