Do you want the look or a weight savings?

Personally, I'd get some CF vinyl that I liked, a razor blade and a heat gun, and have at it.

That company is bragging about how their CF fender flares are 70% lighter that OEM. Great, but if you take an extra bottle of water in the car with you, you've blown that.

I could easily vinyl wrap and clear over it. But it won't look as good. Plus I just dont like illusions.
