Default Carbon Fiber hydro dipping

Anyone done this? I saw on another thread a dude posting about getting his exterior door handles done in this so I did a little research for places around here that do that and found a place in KC that does it. Here's what they quoted me.

$130 for the center console
$60 for the interior door handles
$90 for the exterior door handles
$30 for the metal trim on the steering wheel
$100 for the mirror covers

so $410 total for all of that. Sounds like a great deal. I'll probably start with just the center console, interior door handles and steering wheel trim and then go from there.

Might be a cheaper to wrap it in vinyl DIY style then have automotive clear coat sprayed over it.

^and will look better since the texture is 3d.

I haven't seen a hydro dipped cf black twill that looked legit. Some of the off colors like silver look good but the blacks look cheap and is totally fake looking.

I've done the vinyl wrap and to me it doesnt look as good and it rips too easy. I also am not very good at wrapping either
