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......

 

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

 

ok so im doing a bog school project on composites and i remember seeing a pot on here that included a link to a celica forum with a carbon fiber DIY. Ive searched and can't find it. if someone happens to come across it PLEASE post, it had a lot of good info.
thanks

 

I haven't seen the link you're speaking of, but if you don't find it, Tonester1011 might be able to help you. He does a lot of wrapping.

anyone know a reputable place to purchase carbon fiber material at a reasonable price???

 

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.

 

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

 

I dont think thats rice at all. It looks very well done and pretty damn tasteful. Now if he had spray painted it red with krylon or something.....

 

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.
