I'm having a hard time completing the vision I have for my car because of the lack of parts readily available.
Here's my dilemma; I need a CF ST205 hood. - RTP costs an arm and a leg to ship overseas (great quality materials, but definitely out of my price range) - Seibon make a CF replica of the ST205 hood, but I've heard nightmarish stories about their fitment; enough to make me NOT want their product. - not a fan of the look alikes (ie, Cyclone, etc) Here is my thought; the ST205 oem hood is amazingly light. and the best part is, its OEM and fits great! I'm thinking I will just use a CF wrap to achieve the look I need, as the performance of weight reduction probably wouldn't be worth the cost right now. 3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap has come highly recommended. But the look of it is obviously fake. Is it feasible to wrap with the vinyl overlay, and then put resin / hardener on top? I would attempt the REAL carbon fiber wrap, but I'm afraid I would screw up the weave on a big peice like the hood. Can't have that. Thoughts or ideas guys? How big of a sheet would I need to properly cover the ST205 hood? -------------------- |
