Try PETG or PETG-CF
PETG works great as long as the part doesn’t need to handle more than 60°C. It’s easy to print with and doesn’t warp.
I would not recommend using PETG-CF though. It will shed microscopic fibers unless you coat it in varnish or epoxy.
Didn’t have any issues with deforming of PETG parts in my car. Yeah, -CF should be handled with care, but there are parts that you might not need to touch, and it will be a bit more resistant to deforming under heat.
