This is what you can do with a $25 roll of carbon fibre from Ebay, a rainy weekend and a hairdryer.

I must admit some of the curves were a challenge and I blew my hair dryer up. Then borrowed my dads heat gun which worked a treat!

I think the end result was worth it :D

It's a no brainer to do Adam, the vinyl is about 1m wide and from memory costs about $110/m the good stuff is made by 3M and is called DiNoc. I did my chrome plates under the frankenstein bolts about 4 years ago and only now does it look like it might need a reapply. Also did the surrounds for the spotlights but never bothered to install them:
