I wasn't working on the part consistently. Every time I felt discouraged I would leave it until motivation would come back, so it took me about two months from beginning to end 
Came out better than I expected and wave distortions are minimal. It probably has to do with the fact that I used plain wave carbon. When the twill wave gets stretched it is very noticeable. I also used plain wave to match my carbon hood and also that's the wave Ferrari uses for their interiors which I love.
Do you dare to make the door cards? jeje |
Well you absolutely killed it man! Nothing pulls the interior of our car together like a fully wrapped carbon center console imo! I could look at your pictures for hours. It just looks so good. I'm humbled that my little project was part of your inspiration!! Your success has inspired me look for a new carbon project haha. I've taken a WELL deserver 6 month break from carbon lol but now my wheels are spinning.
I've been looking and looking on what to do about the door panels and I'm still unsure of what I want to do. I love the look of a clean carbon sheet with pull straps for latches and I think I found something I can make work.

What do you think of this?
That would look pretty sexy with some red pull straps and a full carbon skin.
I don't think I have it in me to do a custom door mold, so maybe I can skin this.
Cheers brother and what were you thinking of doing to the door?
I really like the weave you chose btw.
