Carbon Fiber Wrapping!!!!!
Does anyone know where in So cal I can find a company that does this? I know TeamPrototype does but they have a 2-3 month waiting list...... :icon20:

http://www.fibreglast.com This is a big site with tons of info regaurding carbon fiber, techniques, products, etc. If you go on the forums, do a search and I know there's alot a frabricators in cali. What kind of parts do you need made/wraped? If your just wrapping OEM parts check out the "how to" section of their forum. I've been wrapping parts with good results, all you need is time.

Thanx boss...... I have rear fiberglass bumper that has a diffuser similar to the do luck and want to have the diffuser portion wrapped. Is it hard to do it yourself?
|
it's not that hard, but it takes some practice. Buy the materials and try some smaller objects, I overlaid a tape dispencer for the first project. (served no purpose but I could care less if it looked like someone poured carbon stew all over it) Just take your time, do alot of research, and buy a punching back to releave tension. I guess this is why people paid someone to do overlays, but look at it this way, once you learn you can go nuts and wrap whatever! enjoy

I did this on a sunday afternoon.....relatively easy & painless.
I'm really happy with how it turned out...... let me know what you guys think. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/cpal/s2.jpg Attachment 446287 Attachment 446288 http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/cpal/s4.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/cpal/s1.jpg |
I like it. How much did that cost you?
|
Looks clean. I think I like it better than gloss.
|
looks good mang
|
Generally don't like carbon fiber but that looks sharp.
|
this isn't a real carbon fiber trim. It's a textured fabric.....very durable patterns & it's easy to work with. The pattern looks very good with semi-gloss shine.
The material is not expensive. the whole thing was done in 3hrs. I took the center console out & cleaned it with alcohol......sprayed super77 glue & carefully laid out the fabric. done. I'm happy with it. |
|
where you buy it from

It does look good and definitly not rice. Looks real good, I would guess it was stock. Now, what material is the fabric? And where can we get it?
|
looks good to me and if its cheaper than the kits then that even better.
