Any car audio shop or trimmer should both be able to source the material for you and put it on bubble free too. Or you could have a go yourself? Are you looking to highlight certain areas or do the majority of the dash?

That sounds like you're talking about the stick on fake carbon fibre. Real carbon fibre will require a mould made of the item and be laid up like fibreglass using resin and catalyst. If you simply lay C/F over something, it won't go off because it's exposed to air and it will have a rough finish. It's very difficult to work with because when you touch the raw material you move the fibres and ruin it's visual appearance.
