If you want to cover some things in the interior there are also vinyl wraps ( simply use with a spreader tool and heat gun) you can use to make immitation looks!

you can make a mould from plaster ( the kind that is powder and u mix with water, believe its called plaster of paris?) coat the part in candle wax or something and fill a bowl with the plaster. then set the part in the plaster. then when its done u can lay the carbon fiber / resin in the mould. only thing is that its really difficult to do complicated pieces or pieces with lots of curves

anyone can you give me the cheapest seller of carbon fiber

I get my epoxy resins from here: http://www.westsystem.com/ss/ They also sell carbon fiber tape but I couldn't find any larger sizes.
I bought some on a roll last time but cannot remember where I got it. LOL You will have to search for the type of weave and the quality of Carbon Fiber you want. This places sells the unidirectional cloth: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=99 Lots of places sell it but you have to read up on what a quality cloth is and how the weave itself plays a part in structural strength. http://www.oppracing.com/opp_pages.php? ... _fiber_101 1968 Coronet R/T
