found these two on corvettemods.com that look like they'll do the trick, but not sure what they actually look like in person. Has a glossy and matte finish also for pretty cheap.

hydrocarbon fiber aka fake carbon fiber...... at end of day OP if you want something thats going to look good in your vette it is going to cost a little bit more than likely. Real carbon fiber that looks good and not like **** usually does not come cheap. IMO
Let me clear up a lot of bad information in this thread.....
Almost all of my interior came from Apsis USA. It looks great, the quality is excellent. I have NOT had any issues or problems with it. OP, if you'd like pictures, let me know.
HydroCarbon Fiber is a dip. It looks like Carbon Fiber, but a trained eye can easily tell the difference. It's a lot cheaper, but does nothing for your quality of your overall car.

STAY AWAY FROM DARWIN PRO on eBay (link below). They sell an overlay kit. I got it in the mail a few weeks ago and immediately returned. It was real carbon fiber, but the finish was awful. Hazy. Swirls. Hairline scratches. Flimsy.
^^^ Sorry but not one option shown here looks remotely good. only part that looks semi good is the top part of the steering wheel. All the others look terrible. IMO

I'm at a loss...what is the point of your comment other than to be rude?
Personally I think that adding fake carbon fiber is similar to adding stickers on your car to make it faster. I will also add that adding real carbon fiber overlays make even less sense (you ADDED weight but no strength). I must confess that my car does has the oem fake carbon dash (it was on it when I bought it) and I won't switch it out because it looks way better than the base piece.
That said, like anything, if YOU like it on your car then who gives a crap what I think??

From 16 months ago?! Doubt he'll get the question.
I'll comment though! I could be a lottery winner and I wouldn't order anything from apsis. Corvette tax times three. Stuff is overlaid anyways (NOT a new, CF part). Some of it looks great! No doubt of that. They even have hard to find items in CF. But i'm not paying $3K for door panels. or $600 for arm rest (pads)!
Always love the carbon snobs on here, "Carbon purist knows when it's a dip, eww!" Personally, I LOVE the look of carbon fiber. Always have. Some of the hyrdo dips look really good now! Just funny what people put stock in..
