Was it true color carbon fiber or hydrocarbon? You can get those pieces in Hydrocarbon in different colors.

A company I work with makes it, but it's Kevlar. Some people just call it carbon, from what I hear it's really hard to work with and takes more time, but I think it looks great. Let me know if you need anything wrapped in this material. They can wrap anything you can send them with this stuff. Here's a couple pix.





PS, don't settle for fake carbon, it's ok but IMO never looks as good as the real stuff.

You may also want to check this vendor:

The gentleman's name is Dennis, I'm sure he will chime in. He does some great work on interior pieces. Good luck!

Depends on what you plan on getting done. It's just a little more than carbon. Shoot me a PM on what you'd like to get done and I can get you some pricing.
