Default Anyone make carbon door panels

So my ISF has a bunch of scratches from the previous owner on the leather part of the driver door panel, just behind where you pull the door shut. A replacement door panel cost about $950. Does anyone make a carbon fiber replacement?

wrapping with 3M Carbon Fiber Film is an option... check the 3rd page I think on the first link and check out the 2nd link as well... this will save you a lot of money.

basically just the actual padded leather part, because the woman that owned it before me scratched the ***** out of it.
