I guess in all fairness, they are not described as a carbon fiber applique but called "graphite fusion". I just thought the faux carbon fiber look is what they were trying to do. I guess for $240 US total for both kits (door and console) its not going to look completely realistic. The prices under that link go up to $523 which I assume would get you the real deal....

I'd pass on both kits carid.com has complete real carbon fiber kits that replaces every peice and you can get it custom matched to your paint scheme I'm going with black and blue on everything

Another option would be check out some of the companies that dip.
Most companies that camouflage dip gun &/or bows also offer other color's.
I have plans to add some camo to the interior of my Ram.

There are several companies throughout the US that do film dipping.
Should be able to find one near you only issue may be the amount of time you will have to be with out the piece your having dipped.

I get a lot of compliments on the Mpar ones that came on my truck. My truck was used on the showroom so it had four door panels done when I bought it. I posted a few pics in my garage for you guys. They look like they are gel covered but they do look good.

They are very glossy but I will take some more today and post.

Update: I updated my garage but you can tell from the pic how glossy they are. You can see my reflection in the pic if you look closely.
