I guess I am now done with the Mild mods Started this project on Friday and finished it a few hours ago. Was the first time I ever CF'd
anything and I will say it was both challenging and unnerving at the same time. Moving forward, I will be CFing all my trim pieces and a few "other" items.
If anyone has extra trim pieces (plastic or aluminum) they will sell / give me for peanuts, please PM me. Next up is the center dash piece - see last picture.

Enjoy and feel free to hit me up with comments / questions.























And here is the piece I am doing next.

 

looks awesome!!!! Love your red dials! Are you going to do the steering wheel, too???

 

Thanks ! Concerning the steering wheel - I will prob buy a race wheel with CF, flat bottom and alacantra grips. That's the one piece I wont do as I want the race wheel. This means I will have an extra wood wheel + my original wheel Wish I knew I was going that root before I dropped coin on the current wheel.

 

Gorgeous - very nice work!

 

wow...that turns out great for DIY...khudos to u man...

 

Looks good!

 

Looks awesome.. where do I send mine??

 

definately looks good, keep it coming...

 

Perhaps a passing comment, but . . . After a few more pieces I might actually offer this service. Final fit is always a concern as the CF and resin add thickness. This means I would need to carefully pick which pieces I could do. I will use my C as the lab rat and then see. I order all pieces used from a dismantler so as to avoid having the car in pieces while I work.

Stay tuned !

 

Looks very good. What type of carbon fiber and where can you get this. I would like to try a few things just to experiment with.Then maybe step up to say interior side mirrors on my Turbo S. Other than that not sure I have skill to try too many things in my car.

What are you actual steps is that a clear coat you applied. If so how did you apply?

 

Dude - Don't listen to all these guys. They are just egging you on to see how ghetto you can make your car. Comon' Red dials, with wood package AND carbon fiber on a gray interior????

FWIW, the CF finish does look good. But just because you can do it - doesn't make it a good idea. Not to mention, um every friggen dash in the world is matte finish for a reason - glare.

 

I think it looks good but I like CF ghetto ??? He says he will be doing all of his trim so I assume there will be no wood visible when he is done. Carbon will look good with grey. Now if he had cream interior I would agree.

But if you look at his link he has done a ton of exterior Mods. Not my cup of tea on the Exterior but it's his to do as he wants. All of the work looks good doesn't look as someone just started screwing on pieces of this and that. I am pretty sure he has way more coin than he could ever hope to recoup but he isn't selling to my knowledge.

 

CF is not necessarily ghetto. CF is awesome when used for its lightweight & strength. Using as an overlay - I'm meh. Using with rosewood, red dials, on the dash where glare is a concern = not the best use of idle time and resources, IMHO.

 

Then I guess adding the hydraulics, lambo doors, 30' dubs, naked chick mudflaps, vanity plates " 2Fresh" and vintage huggy bear interior accents is right out.
Was really trying to go for this look:



I'm just enjoying doing stuff no one else is (maybe for a good reason) and taking my time. Daily honks and thumbs up so I guess I am on to something.
Will try to stop myself just short of total insanity, but no guarantees. Keep in mind I associate myself with meatwad so you know something is wrong with me.

BTW - for those who asked - carbonmods.co.uk - fast delivery to the states and a great way to get into cf.

 

Well that's cool. If you are using to experiment & play with. It just seemed everyone was complementing the look of all those disparate pieces.

Someone mentioned CF mirror caps. I actually saw these on a silver one like mine and if you could fab a cap that snapped on or replacement, that could be of interest to a lot of people as they sell for $500 .
