What Ford puts in the V6 is NOT carbon fiber. It is a vinyl cover on plastic where the GT and premium cars get a layer of aluminum.
It is not a vinyl cover but rather an actual texture molded into the plastic.

Even if I did find one, I actually have no idea how to go about removing the dash panel to begin with. I searched for a while and the only thing I found was someone mentioning that there were plastic welds or clips holding it on. Does anyone know of a different thread or YouTube video documenting the removal process?

The panels are held in by clips. Relatively speaking it is easy to take out. Video showing the main panel removal.

Well that is even cheaper and worse. Why do you people insist on calling it carbon fiber? When it isn't.
Different people have different tastes. Carbon fiber is expensive so if you can get 90% of the look at 1% of the cost then why not?

Do you call wood pattern contact paper wood? No you call it vinyl just because it kind of looks like carbon fiber doesn't mean you call it carbon fiber. I don't remember ever hearing people say the old Mustangs had a wood dash just because it had the look of wood.
