Default Carbon Fiber Center Caps

Sup all

I recently had an idea for my wheels i didnt like the center caps my wheels came with so i took the liberty of creating my own...

I looked around for something made already, but had no luck... " tonster1011 " from "My350z" (Carbon Fiber God, cool guy) gave me advice and was able to spare a piece of Raw Carbon fiber...

I took the origianl center caps that came from the wheels and wrap them in "C/F" Using Resin to harden these I was able to achive a one of a kind wheel piece...

I was going to do a "Write Up" but there are tons out already, i used some from diff. places to get a broad Idea...


Here are a couple of pics... I didnt get all the "Pin Holes" out , but i still think i did a nice job...

And i didnt realize how precise you have to be with the C/F weave, so it dosnt do the "wave" ...lol


My wheels needed some "Spicing up" i think this helped or Not, now I deff. got to get Chrome lugs...
Yet , I sill havn't decided if im going to keep these on, I only placed them in...

Ohh, And i went ahead and C/F myKey Fob...

Not feeling the center caps, but the key fob looks good.
