Carbon Fiber Focus Parts I made...(lots of pics added as I go)

Well, today I decided to break out the CF cloth and get to work. I had a botched paint job happen on my spark plug cover (involves a flying cover, and a thumb print) so I decided to try something new. I laid some CF cloth over the cover and proceeded to add some resin. 3 hours later, perfection emerged.

I now have a Carbon Fiber spark plug cover.

Pics coming soon. Its just very very very deep looking with a super thick clearcoat look and its hard to get a good photo of it. I will get it in some natural light and snap some shots.

So, we'll start forming the line over there -------> Heh Heh

Next up:

-CF Cover for the valve cover (bolts over top of the existing cover)
-CF Front Lip Spoiler (OEM SVTF Style with Splitter)
-CF Ducktail Spoiler
-CF Radio Surround
-CF Dash Board
-CF Radiator Cooling Plate
-CF Intake Pipe (Thats right, how cool is that!?)
-CF Battery Cover
-CF Degas Cover
-CF Fusebox cover

My car is going to have carbon fiber out the wazoo!

Sorry for the crappy Photos....and yes, the holes are opened up for the bolts to go in...

Just to be clear, this is not a sales thread, I am simply showing parts I've made, and parts I am going to make. Just showing off talents. I cant control people asking me to make one for them.

Well, its much more involved than that...you forgot meticulous sanding, resanding, rolling edges, clear coating, wet sanding and buffing and then viola. Of course, it has to pass my stringent quality inspection. I cant tell you how much CF I've tossed becuase I just didnt like it. Trust me, my work is top notch.
 
Nice job Darth Focus [thumb]
BTW guys, it's "voilĂ ".
Have a good one and keep on moddin' [;)]

Just about to pop off the first mold....CF Throttle Body Cover and CF Battery Cover overlay!! They are curing overnight, tomorrow I'll trim it, snad it, re-resin the trouble spots (if any exist), sand again, wet sand and clear and then its ready to go.

Also pooped off another Spark Plug cover...

Anyone wanna donate an OEM SVT Front Lip Spoiler? I need a 2nd one for the mold. I'll make it worth your while if so...
