3m makes it. You apply it yourself like a sticker. It's actually pretty easy to work with.

one more thing, I used to work at al and eds in cali, and we had a vendor who would come in and could pretty much carbon fiber any dash piece, it was costly but looked amazing. I know he used real cf somehow, but cant remember the exact process

You can overlay existing parts by using resin and cf cloth

Thnx!! It honestly depends on personal preference.. 3M Di-noc is easily accessible and can be applied to any surface whereas cf lay takes more effort and practice especially corner edges or vacuum process which produces better results.
