Nice!

Well done.

Though I have a few concerns.

In the pics, it looks like the resin is uneven in some areas and have "clumps". I don't suppose you sanded and buffed these? Clear coat?


Also, where'd you buy the carbonfiber from? I've been looking to wrap some things, but I can't find any good places to order the fabric from.

I think its just the lighting? iam not quiet sure.. There perfectly smooth in person. Yep all sanded and buffed then cleared

Maybe your looking at the trunk pieces?.. When I took those pictures, they were not done. They had to go through another layer of resin. Ill take new pix of them tomorrow. You can find the fabric anywhere, just make sure you find the right size and weight of the CF.. ebay.. google carbon fiber fabric.. there is a lot of sites.

Thanks for the comments!

Very nicely done. It's especially good to see that it wraps/cuts neatly around the edges with 0 distortion in the material

This looks great! The Evo-R ones I had were absolute garbage. Too many gaps.
