Carbon Fiber wrapped parts.........., My first attempts. Options

[Fastbird]

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.

No pics today but I did some work last night. Trimmed the excess off the door handle bezels, put a final coat of epoxy on the ash tray cover, third coat on the passenger door switch panel, and second coat on the upper dash vent. Going to sand and clear the ash tray panel tonight, sand and re-coat the passenger switch panel, and add a third coat to the upper vent tonight. Maybe get some pics up in the process. I've got tomorrow night, all day Saturday, and Sunday nights off so I'll be hopefully finishing up several of the pieces.

If anyone is selling the drivers side dash vent panel or drivers side door switch panel or a shifter panel for a manual car, I need each one of those to complete the interior transformation on our car. TIA.

Fastbird, I've got an extra one of these. Just PM me your address and I'll pop it in the mailbox for ya. It's the one that originally was in my car, which had the woodgrain option, and when I removed it the glue had left a slight discoloration in some spots so I replaced it. Obviously you'll be covering it, so it's yours for free.
