I think you are talking about carbon fiber body panels? Carbon fiber is used to reduce weight, so putting carbon fiber on top of the metal body panels would be kind of pointless. Depending on the make and model of your car they make carbon replacement panels (carbon creations, fiber images). Carbon fiber is tricky to work with and is not a job for the novice. The carbon fiber sheets are very expensive so if you don't know what your doing and you make a lot of mistakes it will get very pricey. My advice, if you really want carbon fiber, is to buy the pre-made replacement panels.
