Does anyone make a "reasonably priced" carbon fibre (or look alike) LS1 intake cover?

I used Hydrodip. They were great and it turned out awesome. Price is about .75 per square inch.

Is that the process where they dip it into this solution and they pattern is applied to the part? I saw this once on some channel where they were applying like a "real tree" camo to hunting equipment.
How does this stuff hold up?

Is the manifold in the above picture considered a smooth surface? Do recesses such as the center valve cover bolts in the above photo disqualify it as a smooth surface? What about a flat surface that has some surface texture, such as a smooth-cast aluminum? Is the final product only as good as the initial substrate surface quality?
