If your looking for fbody interior parts, I don't think there are any...best bet would be to have them coated. Check out Emblem pros there a sponsor here.

I dont think one vendor alone is going to carry all the carbon parts that might be out there for our cars. It'll take some searching. I know you can find carbon emblems, sail panel trim, door sills, fenders, hoods, spoilers, hatch, tail light panels etc...you might wanna start with ebay.

If you have no mods, I wouldn't start with the hood. If you're talking about the typical items already referenced, try places like Summit, J.C. Whitney, Jegs, RacerPartsWholesale, etc.
