I keep hearing about people painting and even buying carbon fiber look alike decals for the panels but how much are they and where can I get them. Any other suggestion on what I can do? I hear painting is difficult because you need primer and a specific kind of paint.

 

There was a post about this recently. I believe that people went to their local vinyl/graphics place and bought the cheap carbon-look vinly adhesive (its a lot cheaper than the imitiation carbon fiber you will buy online for $50). But if you still want to buy the cheap stuff online, I'm pretty sure you can get it from www.stylincompacts.com . Just trying to help.
