I'd probably get some "carbon fiber look" vinyl decal that people put on their cars and cut the right shape out of it.

Cutting out tthe CF look stickers can be a pain in the arse if you don't have something with the shape to help. For instance, doing a hood or trunk can present quite a challenge. I'd go to DRCcentral.com, groovydrift.com, rc dori.com, or sgdrifters.com and look at some of their tuts on how to do it.

you could go the sticker way or you could even paint it on. ive never tried this but ive heard it works. you take that stuff you put under rugs to stop it from sliding or inside a drawer its like a rubber net sorta thing. you lay that on the inside of the body then spay silver paint or chrome then remove the matt thing and spray black
