first one is vinyl stick-on. 2nd one is a solid sheet i think.
i'm not sure there is even a blue carbon fiber, carbon is black. i think these are dyed glass fiber or maybe kevlar. you could try dying some glass cloth and see how it looks.

i dont think they use "real" carbon fiber, i think it's a print of some kind, same as it's not real wood, real wood won't bend to such tight curves. not to say that these finishes look fake, they look gr8.
i sent them a few questions, i'll let you know what they say.

i already email them about the blue CF,
"Just wondering how much does it cost to carbon fibre dip some > interior pieces, theres a pair of door handle surrond, pair of speaker > grills, pair of vents and a cup holder. Their all small parts, and do you > have blue carbon fibre? Thanks"
They replied
"Best to email some pictures. We only do the traditional black/silver carbon fibre now.Ring me on the number below to arrange or return email."

i asked them if thier wrap was "real" carbon fiber, thier answer was;
"It is a decorative carbon fibre pattern applied over a plastic, steel, fibreglass or aluminium substrate."
so from this reply i assume that it is only a printed material and not really carbon fiber. but after all, it is just for decoration and not a structural piece.
