What kind of trim are you talking about? Like door panels or stereo surround? It might look to simple with just flat pieces of carbon fiber.

i dont think the vinyl sheets of carbon fiber looks good..... looks like checkered grey and black..... there are no fibers just a bunch of carbon colored squares.

and if you find one that looks like real carbon fiber. let me know, i could use it

I bought a sheet of CF, flat, already finished, nice quality.. I'm gonna use it to make a panel in the glove box to mount an ECU display, aftermarket switches, boost controller and turbo timer. I forget the link though. If this is what you're looking for, I could try and dig it up.
