Gave it a shot finally, couple of Celi parts, and one Vette part.
The celi parts below, came out OK. THe switch panel is a PITA because of the recessed switch area, makes it hell to keep the weave straight. This was my 2nd attempt and came out MUCH better than the first. With more practice, I'll nail this piece down. The Ash tray panel came out nice I think. Both are on their 2nd coat of resin and after one more coat should be ready for sanding. The Vette door bezel below was done with the silver carbon fiber, and was my very first attempt at a piece with this kind of contour. I'm EXTREMELY happy with it though it has it's minor flaws. This is going in my personal car again. 2nd coat of resin drying here too. And, with permission of the mods, I'd like to offer the service to the 6GC.net community. It's not going to be cheap because this is a time consuming thing, but the results are worth it. If anyone wants anything done, just shoot me a message and we'll talk. Next up for me is going to be the ignition panel and main stereo panel. Saving the door handle bezels for last as they're going to be a nightmare. *Edit* As referenced in this thread: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=63283&hl= I have gotten permission to offiically offer my services to the 6GC.Net community. If anyone wants any pieces wrapped, send me a PM or post up with that you want and we'll sort the details out. Pricing will be in the $35-75 range per part depending on how big, contouring, fabric used (some colors are pricier than others, like the Gold CF). Just let me know, I'm here for you guys.

U thinkin about hookin people up at all? U really did do a good job man. As stated in the first post, I intend to start doing these parts on the side for people as time allows. They're NOT going to be terribly cheap (think $35-75 per part) but I can work on a few at a time. All anyone has to do who wants something done is post up here or preferably PM me with what you want, what color you want, and we'll work out the details. I've got tonight off, so I'm going to be sanding the first two Celi pieces I did in prep for a final coat of resin, and I'm going to be laying the red/black on the Stereo surround and the Ignition Lock/Dimmer panel. -------------------- |
