Carbon fiber is usually done with a Vacuum bag setup as it's curing. It's fairly straightforward to do at home. The vacuum pumps are reasonably priced. The hard work is in making the mold.

However you could probably buy poly-carbonate sheet that has a carbon fiber print on it and vacuum form it.

A lot of the carbon fiber look parts out there are molded plastic that has a water transfer print on it.

Cheers
