I bought a radiator cooling panel from RS a couple of years ago. They were very nice and friendly, but I was not impressed at all. I didn't even use the piece because the final finish left a lot to be desired.

just wrap your stuff in 3m carbon wrap and reinforce it from the backside.

might not be glossy but it looks equal to real CF and leaves the part less brittle than 30 year old stock plastics.

I bought a carbon idiot light surround from RetroSpec over the summer. Took forever for them to make, like months... It looks nice, better than my old surround which had broken into 5 pieces. But there are no clips to hold it in place so at the moment its just siting there not attached at all. And the fitment is kinda off, theres 2 holes in the top corners where it just seems like their mold is off.
LRB speed has some interior pieces too

My son's company will custom make them for you. MaCarbon.com. Will be expensive though.
