looks awesome. Did you utlize molds for these pieces or is it an overlay/epoxy?
|
no these are the oem parts. He lays the carbon fiber over them then lays the resin/repeat/sand/repeat and then many layers of clear coat to make them shine.
|
A little more carbon fiber than I'd want in my interior but the fit and finish looks perrrfect. I definitely want to do the dash piece when I get mine. Maybe the HVAC trim, too, the more I look at it. Nice touch with the black buttons!
|
If only there was replacement parts.
Would be soo keen for it. |

Would look better if you had done this in my car instead. Obviously.
:) |
looks good dude.
|
How did you take off the area around the stickshift with buttons to put the carbon fiber if you dont mind me asking
|
Nice mines actually getting done with all this in your pics + ac rings and upper drivers shroud

Looks like you did a really good job. For me, it's a bit busy looking, but obviously styling is subjective.

Can we do a compassion of your car vs someone with it... Just go poor some water over the hood record it... I'll do the same... we shall see |
Looks awesome!

Woo - welcome to the club :) Why didn't you cut the hole on the steering wheel piece? Also - is it just me - or on the shifter piece - where the area is around the buttons - the edges on it are still in original plastic and not clear coated? When I did mine - I used some black paint and did a bit of fade out to black - so all the non CF covered places look black and not factory plastic grey ;) But all in all - looks super!
Also - how's the fitment on the pieces around HVAC? I thought about doing them in CF on mine too - but after some measuring - I found out that its not enough clearance for the pieces to be covered in CF in full... |

wait who is "he" that you speak of? I found a vendor from overseas that advertised selling these items on another website.
|
Would be REAL interested in these if the were in UniDirectional carbon instead of weave. I'd even send you my parts.

As far as the water test goes, I'd take that challenge any day of the week. My car and its paint are meticulously maintained. |
Man wish I could do this, Would probs screw it up tho!

This is the look I am going after. It is a top tube from a carbon MTB.

Yeah, they said they were unable to do it. Apparently you have to heat UD carbon for some reason. IDK
|
Define unidirectional. Like the bike frames?

I saw this car back in Feb at a small meet and i promise you pictures dont do it any justice. So nice!
