I have a idea in mind for mine, but the car has to go to paint first. If I end up doin it & it turns out alright, I'll definetly post pics. It will not be a traditional "wet" CF look though.

You could probably wrap one, with a couple layers.

It is just way cheaper for you to go to a local shop and get the stock one wrapped in CF than to buy one pre-made, get it shipped, get yours cut off and get it glued on...
