Wrap parts in carbon fiber - Toronto bodyshop?

Hi folks, I am planning to rice my car up. First step is to Carbon fiber some stock parts...

However, I do not have any knowledge in this matter. Would anyone who knows ANYTHING about wrapping body-kits/OEM/fiberglass/urtheane parts with CF?

What I've found on internet so far

Problem is...HOW MUCH THIS GONNA COST? I have no idea....

Thanks for the help!

Rice? Seriously? Coming from someone with a knock off MS front?

It can be tastefully done. I won't out anyone but someone here has carbon wrapped hood that everyone thinks is a real CF hood. It looks amazing and you cannot tell. Some other have done their interiors and it looks great. Most get CF for looks so this done right can accomplish the same thing and if it fades you just re wrap it.

wouldnt mind CF my hood and trunk, but it depends on price. If its expensive might aswell get a real cf hood, since it aint too expensive.

Wrap looks good on interior, but would not wear well on exterior IMHO. For exterior it would be a good idea to buy CF from an experienced vendor, with proper resin and clear coat, nothing looks worse then yellowing CF parts.
