So about that carbon fiber...

If it can fit in the tank, it can be done. And for a reasonable price as well. SOOOO much easier than wrapping pieces.

I've made some decent progress, thinking about it from where I am now in this process, it's actually not bad. I have the console and cupholders rough cut and awaiting one last coat of resin before curing and sand/polish. I will be doing this again next weekend with more parts and a revised plan. Pictures are crap but you get the idea

Lookin good Frantz! I'll be right behind ya learnin from your mistakes .

Looking very good.
Does your resin have a kinda sweet smell to it?
I know that's random... lol. And no homo.. -___-

 

[frantz954]

Lol funny you say that, but yeah it kinda does. I thought I was crazy.

 

[frantz954]

Sounds good! Can't wait to see!

 

[Russianred]

Mm I bet it smells sweet like acetone, or those white-board markers we used to use in school! I love that smell.

The resin I used had a smell like, grainy stale cereal, or something like that. Like walking through a field of wheat thins. hahahaha It's just a sweat smell but kind of grainy. Hard to explain.
OP is that what yours smells like?

i wish you the best of luck man. i tackled a big CF roof project and it kicked my ***. lol.

make sure before you put TOO much work into it.... set it out in the sun/heat for a LONG time after you've allowed the resin to fully cure. my stuff looked great until i introduced it to mother nature. you want to mimmick the condition it will face inside your car on a hot sunny day in the summer so place it in the sun and cover it with a large container so it acts sort of like an oven because thats what it'll feel like in your car
