| Custom Carbon Fiber work?
I was wondering if there're any places in lower mainland that can do custom carbon fiber work like "O-Carbon"
I've searched and no luck so far. 
Anyone can recommend a reputable, quality shop please?
Thanks in advance !

If you're looking to do CF interior trim pieces like those oCarbon ones water transfer printing/hydrographics might be a good option, you can just take off your OEM pieces and get it "dipped" carbon should be A LOT cheaper and you can guarantee OEM fit

This might be another good solution !
Thanks A LOT for the input guys. 
Serious responses only please.
Its not like i'm asking for "which wrapping company would be the best in Vancouver for vinyl fancying my ride" or "which combination of wrapping should i do to make my whip stand out" question.
Just want some accents done with couple parts and haven't been able to find a reliable/good local company that i can leave my parts for.
I'm looking for some place in local so that i don't need ship out my parts and wait to get things done.
Not to mention that I'm not into that "3M Carbon fiber look/Fabric Wrapping" methods either.
Thanks again.
-M

Seemed like you wanted actual carbon wrapped pieces, but you seem happy with hydrographics, which is not actual carbon fiber.
Which are you actually looking for? Or does it not matter.

I am using 3D-ink to dip a few pieces from underneath my hood in CF. it is 4 quite large pieces and I was quoted $200. While that may not seem like an epic deal, it is pretty inline with what some others have paid, and I really do not feel like buying a kit and trying to DIY this. I kinda just want it done.

A shop like 360 Fab would probably be able to pump out a few carbon fiber pieces, though it won't be cheap, no custom carbon work ever is.
