he is local so i'd sand his roof off and resin the carbon directly on his car... otherwise, i just need a junk roof or a parts car, and same thing... i'll overlay it on teh roof, this time without sanding the roof, and then i'd trim it... once trimmed, i just hammer it with a rubber mallet and it'll pry itself off of the roof in a finished shape

urgh, really dissapointed in my pictures... i thought my phone was automatically set to 1.3MP but instead it was defaulting to half that

i'll have to grab more tomorrow

and a little surprise you likely didnt see coming! the interior pillars are coming out WICKED, i cant wait till my mom gets back to do them some proper justice... that means you're gonna have to wait a few more days for the unveiling of the Bs and Cs

+1 for the gauge/speedo bezel thingy. thats my favorite!

thanks

while i was out this afternoon, i've noticed how smooth and easy to make a couple more panels are, so if you're interested, i'll give this a try this week...

the vents on each side, are actually part of one big piece... i can do both of those on either side, and these will go with the fuse box cover, and the fake cover on the other side.... THEN, the next piece starting from the left, is the plastic under the steering wheel, which is one big plastic piece that stretches all the way to the center console and hte HVAC knobs... what do you think?

How about a panel to fill the hole under the radio? You know, where the defrost switch and cigaretter lighter are. I keep thinking I wanna close that somehow for switches but can't decide on how to do it.

So your talking a full CF roof not just looks? MMMMM weight savings. I wonder about roll over protection though?

should be stronger if its completely carbon fiber maybe add in some carbon fiber piping for extra strength. shit lets hjust go and start making full cf neon chassies

no no no, sanding the roof and then laminating it... otherwise, it'd be a "roof cap", so just a stick on piece...

I'll chip in for that. I want a carbon fiber schlong too.

While you're making carbon fibre chassies, how about making it a 2 door and making the front doors longer, for easy back seat access.

Damn new products and no CF airbag cover

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 9:18 pm

not much better than before but whatever, you'll survive till sunday

^this kid is crazy good with CF! Damn, mad skills bro.

I tell you what I'd go for, maybe an HVAC bezel surround, a center console accent piece, and maybe steering wheel accents... Just nothing to interfere with the airbag. Check out the inside of a Porsche GT3 with the carbon fiber trim option... thats what i like.

Is the gauge accent piece an overlay? or does it bolt in directly in place of the old one? I really like it!!

no, stick on... the stock part doesnt bolt in, it gets jammed in... it has some prongs sticking out the back, and those click into the dash.... there's no way i can duplicate that

rice_eater · Post by **rice_eater** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 12:51 pm

the one that goes on the driver side... can you just make a cover, that gets rid of the hand part,and make the inside flow alot better? thats would be nice

you mean like the one on the right

you can see how the fiber dipped in a little over the hand piece

as in a package that includes all 6 pillars and cluster overlay? i think that's fair enough, since these are things i'd imagine everyone would want right?

I also sorta like the idea of the airbag delete in CF but I'd like it as a direct replacement, not stick on.
