Carbon fiber wrap my hood scoop?

I was looking into carbon fiber wrapping my hoodscoop because I assume that it would be cheaper than buying a replacement scoop. Is this recommended? What brands are the best?

I'm 100% sure there's no way I'D get a satisfactory result .... too many curved surfaces.

Heck I have trouble getting good paint coverage when I spray these for folks . . . getting the inside takes a little bit of extra thought and care.

That's what I wasn't sure about; the small space and curves would make it difficult.

My boyfriend uses 3m's DI-Noc. and hasn't found a surface he hasn't been able to cover yet.
