No worries mate, we're not on the Moon... I've made some phone calls today and found the right stuff. Is called Carbon fibre cloth and Is going to cost me somewhere around 100 AUD with the right resins and stuff . Also I found this in my surfing activities:

Clicky

This would be for Aaron who is really keen to do it so I think it is very usefull...as well as other LOC members.

Would you know what resin to use? Aparently the Polyester resin has some composites that could melt some types of plastic but it has better qualities. I am not sure if the Lexus plastic would melt if I use Polyester. The Epoxy one is probably the right one but will not have the same qualities. I will explain more if need it. I will take pics when I will do it.

So if you guys would know the answer ...let me know.

im putting in an order for some 3m di noc vinyl soon. il be selling it at £60 a metre (1220mm x 1000mm)

do a search on eBay. u wont find the size any cheaper!!

its so close to carbon its unbelieveable. alot easier than using resins and suchlike.

pm me if you want to order some.

i work with carbon on a daily basis, this is a very basic way to do it anf tbh, the majority of people should be able to make parts using this process B)
