I got the kit from carbon mods it takes 2 pieces of carbon . When you do it you have to make sure it's hot with a heat gun for all the glues and lacquer to dry and mix properly. Ideally 20 degrees.

Looks great, very impressed and well worth doing.

I buy my materials from Carbon Mods (actually a dept of easy composites)...before I made the tub in full carbon I skinned the roof using their kit to try to get it to match the rest of the car and it turned out very good... heat gun and decent temps are key.
Mine needed lots of lacquering to get it nice, but it was a big area.
