I'm guessing from this comment:

That you've got flat sheets of CF and are simply cutting shapes? If so, then I can't see anything else that's flat that could be substituted for a CF piece. The timing belt cover would look pretty good in CF as well as a few other little black plastic covers but they are all complicated pieces. Don't know if you can make those (or even want to).

well after seeing what someone else did using hydrographics I found a place near me that does this so shipped off parts and they came back fantastic. I'm happy

I sand blasted the metal covers and primed them myself before I shipped them. cost about $150 including the shipping both ways.
Upgraded wires and spark plugs too!

my goal this winter was too clean up the engine area getting parts re finished. next I'd like to do the turbo shields in chrome.

also some bad news the rear window split on me. not quite sure how I did :?

So it needs a new window but I hardly ever drive it with the top up. I'm hoping next summer to get that done before next fall.

If you notice the CAS cover is a slightly different pattern than the others has yellow/gold in it.

I also put in the new wires and new sprk plugs

also the cover is missing 2 of the screws know where to get replacements screws?
