Default Matching Carbon Fiber rear tray

So I find it kinda bothersome that the rear tray in the car is not also carbon fiber like the rest of the trim. I did a search on here and saw several long dead threads about this. I saw where some people did DIY for it as well. I have never worked with CF and don't really have a desire to. Would a gloss CF wrap look too different from the rest? Does someone sell replacement CF parts for this tray? What have you all done? Thanks!

I saw these guys in an old post during my search, wasn't sure if they were still active as their site seems to be down. I read that the depth of a dip or wrap might not match as well
