I think pepboys sell some stickers that look like carbon fiber. I doubt you will find any functional carbon peices without having them custom made.

I found this on eBay - it's a brushed aluminum kit, but the seller has it in carbon fiber.

i was going to get the 20 piece woodgrain kit for my truck but decided to save my moolah. yeah i think it will last. you just pull the stock parts off and stick those in its place. check on there and see if theres a return policy for if you dont like it.

So those are real carbon fiber peices and not just made to look like carbon fiber? That kindof saprises me but it is nice to be able to lighten up these pigs a little. I wounder if anyone makes a carbon fiber front clip and bed?

Dodge does make a Carbon fiber dash for the Sport version. I met a guy who wanted to trade for the fake wood stuff so you might try that route. It would be no cost for a even swap.

i dont know if theyre real carbon fiber parts or just aluminum parts with carbon fibering on top. the parts you are replacing are so lightweight it wouldnt benifit much as far as lightening up goes. it would look good however so if you like the looks, go for it. if you want your whole dash done in carbon fiber then you could take it to an aftermarket specialties place and get it all covered in cabon fiber but itd probly be expensive.
