Default Real Carbon Fiber Vs Carbon Fiber Plating

I am trying to give my dash a carbon fiber makeover, but am having some trouble finding someone who can be clear with me exactly how it is going to look. I guess I have no choice but to remove the dash and send it out, but any recommendations for a shop/person that can do this would be greatly appreciated. Can any of you tell which of the images below is "fake" or CF plating as opposed to the real thing? What is the difference anyway? I also can't seem to find anyone that can mold the nav compartment like the first picture below; I want to lose the nav door entirely like this guy did, but I can't find anyone to do it! Thanks.

Here is what I want:

SuiteEGrafX makes the "decal" shown in the first picture that goes onto the stock piece. The bottom photo is of the EVO-R Dry Carbon fiber interior, which is thin, real carbon fiber pieces that stick onto the stock piece.

Wow - so the first picture (the one that I think looks WAY better) is actually the "fake" carbon fiber. Interesting.
