Default carbon fiber engine bay components?

I am looking to replace that black plastic piece above the washer fluid resevoir. I dont particularly like carbon fiber but I think it coudl work here, and I think I have seen it. Anybody know where I can find this piece?

You have to get it custom coated. www.exoticwooddash.com is reasonably priced, considering the quality of their carbon fiber!

I think it's like 90 cents per square inch, so you do the math!

It wont cost THAT much -- I had mine done on my old "patient zero" car and it looked VERY nice.. I cant tell you how many comments i got on it and most people thought it was real carbon fiber.. exotic wood dash would be the place to get it done as the guy i used dissapeared..

Here it is:
