step #1
select around your hood with the polygonal lasso tool. once selected-layer via copy.
step #2
select around the washer jets, then gently smudge them out with a small brush {how many people have carbon washer jets?}:p
step #3
take out most of the colour, not all-most real carbon has a tint of bronze, just a little.
step #4
time to make the pattern. create a new document(12p X 6p)
step #5
hit 'D' to get default colours, select a 1/4 of the square, then fill with the gradient tool and do the opisite corner so it looks like the one shown below.
step #6
define pattern.
step #7
create new (3000p X 3000p)-big i know, but its good.(sometims you might need a bigger one, there is no problem with having excess pattern.)
step #8
now fill with your newly made pattern (edit>fill)
step #9
once filled, free transform while holding shift, resize it to about this size on 16.67% zoomed
step #10
copy the cf pattern that you just resized onto your car, but resize it using the free transform tool (ctrl+t) to get it to a realistic size.
step #11
filter>distort>twirl>55:p
step #12
now flip, skew, transform, perspective to make it get smaller as the further away it is, till it looks just right.
step #13
now hold ctrl + click on the layer of the actual hood layer (in this picture its layer 1), it should select around the shape of the hood, now hit shift+ctrl+i now hit delete
step #14
change the opacity of your pattern to about 30-40, should look like the picture below.
step #15
now change the brightness of the orig. bonnet, i normally add some contrast to make it look more shiny-dont make the bonnet too dark, or too light
