If you know how to lay fiberglass... You can just lay carbon fiber over your stock one to get that look. It's actually pretty easy. Lay the CF over it and brush resin over it. Do a bit of searching on net and on you tube, I'm sure you'll find many 'how to' for reference.

Hers a quick vid on how to make your own part/cover.

same basic idea to cover yours, but you just wouldn't use a release agent

I'd opt to try making your own

Theres a CF/FG company that sells kits on Ebay for DIYs

Best thing is to shoot an email to them to see if its the factory one with CF over it, or solid carbon fiber all the way though.
