carbon fiber strut bar *finished pics*

these images show my ebay strut bar center simply wrapped in the fabric. i used three pieces which should look pretty smooth once its out of the vacuum bag. these pics are the raw fabric itself and was a test fit using tape. forgot to mention this strutbar was wrapped, not replaced. so this is strictly for looks.

Re: carbon fiber strut bar *finished pics*
When working with carbonfiber do you use the same kind of resin as with fiberglass cloth or is it different?

Re: carbon fiber strut bar *finished pics*
its a completely total different process from fiberglass. its still the resin type of thing, but you use different resins, materials, and process of laying and sealing.
i plan to cover my dash in cf in the next coming few months because it's painted and full of holes. i have the dash out of the car right now actually.

Re: carbon fiber strut bar *finished pics*
Nice work. It would be real cool if you could share with all of us a Carbonfiber "How-to" post. I haven't seen much about how to do that stuff.
Also saw your artwork. Very nice dude. I know you hear that a lot. It sometimes feels like it means more coming from another artist though. I was a Layton Scholarship winner to UW Milwaukee for Fine Arts and a Scholarship winner to Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. Sadly I have since forsaken Art to make money working with computers.
