its basically the same thing as fiberglass, it just comes in mat form, theres diff types of carbon fiber also so do your research first, theres a few sites out there that teach you about cf. Basic idea is you need something to mold the cf over or into, you lay out your cf then spread resin over it. It gets a little more complicated than that depending on how nice u want it to turn out.

A skilled craftsman has to do the molding or else it'll look crappy. I mold carbon fiber, but a one off job like yours wouldn't be cheap.

I know cuz i had some on my dash back in my ill knowledge days, i finally got the real thing and man it looks so much better, the vinyl stuff looks like total crap, it looks nothing like real cf, stay away from that stuff, its disgusting!
