I've got a lid & fuel rail covers (see sig for pics) which can be bought at various aftermarket vendors, but any other parts that you might see on the internet or at shows have been custom done.

Actually, there are quite a few places out there that make carbon fiber fuel rail covers, intake manifold covers, radiator shrouds, etc.

Try www.xmotorsports.com/engine

I assumed he had an F-body. I think most of that stuff is for Corvettes only.

Yes I have a 99 WS6 A4 with a direct-flo airlid, 85mm MAF, Corsa cat-back, LS6 intake manifold, 18x9.5 ZO6 wheels, HPP3 for fan temps shift points and rev limiter, MSD 8.5mm wires, NGK TR-55 plugs, and QTP LT's with dual QTEC's in the mail. Just wanted to dress up the engine bay a little. I can't say that I care for the CF interior moldings, but I liked the engine bay stuff.

Some people just decide what parts they want CF on and they ship them out to get them coated. I believe that www.exoticwooddash.com offers this service.
