More carbon fiber wrapping
Here's some more pieces I'm working on.
Side trim pieces for stereo and climate control. Vios rear window visor Glove box (inside) The outline you see in the third pic towards the middle is a cut-out I made because I store my Sirius, HD radio, and MSN Direct tuners in the glove box and I need to run the wires out to the receiver. Glove box (outside) I added a MI decal and it will be covered in resin.

I'm wrapping all the visible parts, mounting all my add-on's in it, adding some l.e.d.'s and putting a lexan cover over the top so when you open it up there's a lighted display.

You are pretty friggin good with that stuff. Ever think about doing it for money?
I know I would send you my engine cover to start with. I don't care if I would have to wait a week or two for it, your work is amazing. I also know if I had those skills I would be advertising my services here like crazy. |

It all depends on the part. I think its more time consuming than it is difficult.

I agree. Most of the work is sanding. I usually end up putting 5-6 coats of resin on each piece. Everything else is easy. The resin and hardener was the most expensive part for me. The CF itself is only about $30/yard.
