Ok - I was way too impatient

Started works today on all the panels.

First - removing god damn fugly stock head unit. As I had JVC single din CD/MP3 player just laying on shelf with all the Handsfree / USB / Wireless functions - I thought why not to put it in!

I cut single din opening from Subaru impreza center plastic that I had laying around - and welded both plastics together (FRS one and impreza). Used my soldering gun to weld both plastics + some hot glue to support everything from the back. Be sure to check if both plastics are the same origin (PP or ABS) other way they will not hold together!

Later on - sanded everything smooth - added some bondo - and of it ready to get covered in CF

Will make small storage compartment on the lower opening.

Also - had one crazy idea to pop up in my head

As the lower opening is JUST the same size as clock / hazard / pass seat airbag signal - maybe I will relocate it to the stereo bezel - and make a round analog clock on HVAC panel instead of hazard button, like on some English supercars?

And started covering one of my spare sets in new CF

Got lots of done - tomorrow I should finish up with resin works - and clearcoat everything in the evening

Heres how new CF looks after few coats of resin on

It looks DAMN sexy - I tell you

Next time im bringing my DSLR to garage and will take proper photos

Still lots of sanding left - and atleast 2 coats of resin. Its a damn hard thing to work with this CF - cuz you CANT oversand and touch it with sand paper - cuz if you do - red string is ruined - and its instantly visible

on the normal CF if you do oversand - after covering another layer of resin - it will cover the oversanded place easily...

Mate, where did you get the red CF from? I know Ebay sellers have it but if you could tell me the specs would be great. Is this dual twill or single?

Nah - you will not get this one from any seller on Ebay - its exclusivly from: http://compositeenvisions.com/

Bought it from them -its not cheap, and its not as super flexible as normal 2x2 200g CF - so you have to be patient

But its super nice - it looks in real life just the same way as it looks in the picture on the site!

Odered! Yep, they are not cheap but damn, it would look good in a black car i reckon. Let alone the red one :happy0180:

@doggy, I voted for your S30Z in the 2012 Speedhunters Awards for "Car of the Year". Congrats on making the running! I was conflicted with too many good choices, and I figured yours was a longshot but I love the S30Z! I invite everyone else to vote for his car, too!

Car of the year - my S30z is not worth it at all

There are way too good cars nominated to the best of the year award!
