    I'm looking for the carbon fiber look a like plastic stuff. I've seen it on a lot of new boats for the instrument clusters, guage bezels, etc. My Ford F-150 even has it on the dash but after talking to several plastic manufacturers nobody seems to know what I'm talking about. I want to use it to replace some teak on the latest project.

    Any help is much appreciated.
