the easy way:
carbon fiber cloth/fabric + resin/hardener mix... and wait a few hours lol
this is without a mold (just covering something in cf)
o.. and for car seats you can use that "carbon fiber vinyl" that shops use, and just sew it together.

you won't be able to sow carbon fiber to a leather. it's woven, but it's very fragile and comes apart easily.
the only way i can think of is to use an adhesive to attatch the cf to a black vinyl, then sew from there. but then any slight object can easily fray the carbon fiber. not worth it IMO.
