SHOULD I DO THIS???, carbon fiber creations Options

[CelicaSTX02]

Well, I've been messing around w/ wrapping stuff in carbon fiber and whatnot........and I've gotten pretty good. The more I do, the better I get and the nicer it looks. I was thinking, if any of you guys are interested in having stuff wrapped in carbon fiber, you can let me know and I can do it for a fee thats really cheap. I'll probably charge you the cost of materials and like $20-40 for labor depending on how big the project is. The material itself is really cheap.......example: it'll cost you around $50-$70 for materials to do a whole hood.....so smaller stuff like fuel lid will cost you like $10 for materials. So far, I can do:

*center console
*door panels
*fuel lid
*Canard splitters
*any flat things I can make.....like small splitters and stuff
*wrap our dash pieces.....I am going to do piece by piece as I have time and take pictures

stuff I probably wouldn't do:

*hood...takes too much time, and its a pain in the ass to keep the weave perfect
*trunk- same reason as the hood
*front diffuser- its basically just a big piece of flat carbon fiber.......I can do it but.......if I have time I can actually.
*doors
*fenders
*bodykits
*pretty much anything big.....I can do all the little things

I WILL UPDATE W/ PICS SHORTLY IN A WEEK OR SO........CAUSE I HAVE EXAMS THIS WEEK, SO I AM BUSY. IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEAS OF STUFF YOU WANT TO SEE IN CARBON FIBER.........JUST POST ON HERE AND LET ME KNOW. FEEL FREE TO PM ME ALSO.

Could you wrap our mirrors in carbon fiber, or would that be hard because of the curves and keeping the weave perfect?

[CelicaSTX02]

mirrors would be easy actually............I was planning on doing the APR style carbon fiber mirrors. I am still working that out w/ some people from my team.

[Coomer]

I would absolutely love to have APR-style carbon fiber mirrors for my car, especially since I don't have the controller to adjust my mirrors anymore.

[Akimbo]

Wouldn't mind mirrors and the fuel lid. Not really to up on sending that stuff away though.

[CelicaSTX02]

See, I was thinking of buying fuel lids off wrecked cars......and wrap em.....and sell em. So you can keep your stock one and have a carbon fiber one =]

I would get a fuel lid from ya.. if you could make a carbon fiber pillar with gauge pods that would be awesome

[Akimbo]

Yeah I'll be right behind def if you get a second fuel door.

i already have the fuel lid, its a nice touch. i would like to see some CF headliners.

[Raek]

i'd be down for a fuel lid. i'd even send you one.

[CelicaSTX02]

ACTUALLY..........I CAN MOLD THE LOTEK THING AND MAKE IT. Its pretty easy, I"ll just get a mold kit from a craft shop and I can make a lot of them......for cheaper than Lotek in carbon fiber!!!

[Defgeph]

yeah but can you make it so its a full piece not like lotek half a$$ed piece that ends at the top of the windshield...
