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. -------------------- |

Easy... get a lotek pod and a stock pillar and cut/hack/mold them together with fiberglass until it looks good and you have the basic shape. This is just going to be for your cast so it doesn't matter if it looks good or not. Then make your mold from this piece and do it all up in carbon fiber. Of course doesn't this peice have to flex a bit to install/remove from the car? Would have to make sure that the thickness of the carbon fiber isn't so much that it's not a bit flexible. - aba |
