If that's really what you want to do, get some fake CF vinyl, it'll be cheaper. Or send it somewhere to have them overlay it in CF.

It is NOT impossible to paint it to look like CF, but don't expect anyone to do it.

Primer the wing dark grey then use a sharpee to mark evenly checkered black squares.

It would either be extremely expensive or look horrible, and probably both.

if you want a real carbon fiber, try buying it at mitsubishi. it'll cost a little bit more than rrm but at least you have cf on it.. a real one.

it would cost alot more then its worth. if you dont want a actual cf wing then your best bet is getting it wrapped in cf look vinyl.

I think it was on the show "Rides" Christopher Titus was doing some work on his SUV and painted the hood scoop to look like carbon fiber. I believe what they did was spray through a mesh so that it simulated CF. It didnt look half bad. So yes, it can be done.

cf look paint job

I know a place, but you have to send it overseas, to Manila, Philippines. I don't know how much it will cost but I'm sure it's relatively cheap 'cuz of the $-to-peso exchange rate. ($1 is to 55 pesos).
