I actually found a local professional that had them done here in New Jersey. He did a great job, He actually used Real Carbon Fiber (cloth, not the vinyl kind) The pieces look clean and excellent. Only took him a week to get the job done, I removed my pieces, dropped them off, and a week later i picked them up. If interested just PM me and i'll forward you his info so you can contact him.

$600, with a week turn around time. It sure beat most of the places out there and it was much quicker then say some places that needed you to ship your pieces to Cali and have a 4-6 week turn around time .
