<![CDATA[Who likes custom stuff?!?]]>I have been toying with the idea of making CF or CF looking parts (there is now fiberglass that is dyed, available in many colors,and has some carbon in it to be quite strong and look nice, but not break the bank)

I was wondering things you would like to see, car related or not. Only real design barrier at this point is completely enclosed objects or cylinders but I may concur those at some point.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in anything and have any ideas for me!

Thanks!

It could be as simple as 2 panels with mounting holes, or it could be 2 panels joined together with a fabric hinge and some light thin insulating material on the bottomside.

Low gloss on those.

id buy it!

He pretty much took shit off his bike, made replacement CF parts (for fun?) and then posts ridiculously in depth articles about it.

sorry for those without the facespace or mybooks

If I ever had a CF hood I would paint it body color. I am not the type to put fake CF on my car.

I wouldn't put a CF hood on an E30 unless it was heavily tracked... Just my thoughts, but I agree on painting it the body color.

Real CF is on the right.

Just a thought.

I will probably order some stuff to get started soon, don't know what I will make first...

No gloss at all. Glare sucks

It doesnt seem too terrible but I would want to have the time and skill to make the initial materials purchase worthwhile.

I really want a CF hood. Removing weight from the front of the car is tricky.
