I'm definitely going to miss my arm rest but that full carbon sheet is going to look so damn good, especially with the red door straps.
I might print out some sort of vinyl graphic/logo with my cutter and lay that under the epoxy, or maybe even mold in a gauge pod!
Should be a relatively easy skin though. I did finally end up biting the bullet and bought a full vacuum system for my skinning. I used it for the first time this year on some small interior pieces and it boy did it really make a difference. Would highly highly recommend.
I'm a fan of what I think you're envisioning here. If you can find some good synergy between the carbon and a real nice leather job in the middle it would truly be one of the nicest custom door mods for our cars out there.
Cant wait to show you my progress when i get going!
What custom exterior projects are you thinking of??

Awesome man! Can't wait to see what you do with that. Do you currently have a build thread?
I might consider infusion for future projects. I have to do a little more research on it and your own feedback will also be very much appreciated.
For the exterior I want to cut out the diffuser from the rear bumper and create a new piece of my own design out of carbon + a functional diffuser as a separate piece. Also I'd like to modify the sides of the Zele front splitter to flow better with the Varis side skirts. And finally, I want to make a carbon gurney flap for the ducktail spoiler. After all that my exterior will be complete.
And since
here are the pics from Sunday's Wekfest Florida
I added some baby flares both front and rear about 15mm each in order to avoid poking after adding the required spacers to clear the Brembo kit.
A plate I made with some carbon leftovers just for the show
