You guys aren't getting it... CF skinning is different than vinyl wrap! check the video I posted on my comment.

It is the process of sanding the original part, applying epoxy base, applying genuine CF weave, applying clear epoxy, then polishing to a glossy finish. so it IS a DIY, just not the vinyl wrap you are posting pictures of. There are plenty of threads about people doing this CF Skinning on their interior, and it is the same process used by those companies that will charge $600-$800 for because it is very time consuming and very difficult to make perfect.

CF Skinning will look like this once completed:
