What you want to do can be done. A carbon fiber look is going to take some serious custom paint work. To do a 2-tone well like this without a carbon fiber look should cost $2000-3500. With a carbon fiber look I would expect that an additional $1000-2000 would have to be expected.

it really doesnt matter that someone has already done it or if alot of people have it...who cares as long as it's what you want. your photochop looks sick and that would be an awesome paintjob man.
