http://www.fibreglast.com This is a big site with tons of info regaurding carbon fiber, techniques, products, etc. If you go on the forums, do a search and I know there's alot a frabricators in cali. What kind of parts do you need made/wraped? If your just wrapping OEM parts check out the "how to" section of their forum. I've been wrapping parts with good results, all you need is time.

it's not that hard, but it takes some practice. Buy the materials and try some smaller objects, I overlaid a tape dispencer for the first project. (served no purpose but I could care less if it looked like someone poured carbon stew all over it) Just take your time, do alot of research, and buy a punching back to releave tension. I guess this is why people paid someone to do overlays, but look at it this way, once you learn you can go nuts and wrap whatever! enjoy

this isn't a real carbon fiber trim. It's a textured fabric.....very durable patterns & it's easy to work with. The pattern looks very good with semi-gloss shine.
The material is not expensive. the whole thing was done in 3hrs.
I took the center console out & cleaned it with alcohol......sprayed super77 glue & carefully laid out the fabric. done. I'm happy with it.
