Got tired of factory CARBON look like wrap... Soooo - off it goes! Gonna get some real CF overlay instead!

After removing all the vinyl from factory pieces (it was pain in the ass to be honest...) sanded all the plastic with 40grit (to get surface as routh as posible for epoxyd resin to stick better) and layed few even coats of resin:

Letting resin dry and gettin it to be sticky really helps to lay down CF. After i got CF all around the parts - i still waited a bit for CF cloth to stick to the parts. Once its done - layed few more heavy coats fo resin on top.

After first few coats got dry - sanded all the not needed cf out from the parts - and sanded surface with 80grit - to get some routh inperfections out. And off it goes another few heavy coats.

Tomorow will sand it down even more, with some lighter grit sandpaper - and if it will all even - will shoot clear on it!

looks quite better then original to be honest

Great work. Love the headlights and taillights. Exactly what I would do, if I had the nerve and the time.

draggin_az · 09-19-2012, 02:22 PM

awesomely done

Jeff86 · 09-19-2012, 02:32 PM

Love all your cars and that lift in your garage

doggy · 09-25-2012, 02:52 PM

Done

Shoot clear on with some HOK Red Ice pearls in it - to get the red tint on CF on the sun - and did some quick freehand GT86 for the pieces not to be so empty looking

Tomorow will wetsand them and polish them up. Cant wait to get them back on the car

Few more pics:

Turbowned · 09-25-2012, 05:57 PM

Heh - Guys - im WAY too far away to do this

Dont think shipping parts to me / back would be cost effective.... Will post pictures tomorow of the parts installed

Today i vent to our biggest Subaru dealers - to tease them

Cuz then i wanted to get BRZ - they told be price of 43000$

and delivery date around next month (this was then i was trying to order BRZ still in early march

) so they have 2 of the BRZ now - and this was my first time looking at BOTH cars live - and to be honest - 90% of Subaru dealers - said FRS front looks better

What i would take from BRZ is the headlights - they really do look better

Oh - and THANKS GOD my FRS is without this MIG29 (as i call it

) Spoiler!

Damn - it was designed by the same designer who did FRS headunit

doggy · 09-27-2012, 04:43 PM

Today installed my new clear side markers / turn signals (rewired them to work as a turn signals). Also - shot some light black tint on them - to mach the all tinted look on the front

Looks super

And - got my car all ready for upcoming Time attach race this weekend - will be representing 2013 year Livery for the race organisers

Will not be racing still my self (dont have balls to kill my FRS

) but who knows - maybe next year
