I was thinking of doing something with my a and b pillar plastics, any suggestions?

that will make it look cheesy, i vote no.

hmm that looks almost real
buttt
not a big fan of molding fake cf onto parts.. especially fake red cf

i did do my a pillars in suede lol
its probably not hard at all

I was just going to spend a day and spray some high build on it, smooth it, and paint it satin black. I'd like it to look o.e. ya know? But I'm always open to ideas. I'll prolly do suede for the headliner, but nothing else.

dont do that. ill peel it off if you do that HAHA.

On the upside it comes with a big bag of rice.

yeh looks good
i did the door inserts in a diego suede but i think im gonna switch to black
and do the headliner in black suede too
it feels nice too on the center console arm rest
pretty classy not too ricey if done right i think

a few years ago we were going to do something like this on 2nd gen eclipse... we were going to have custom paint and put patches of the CF like it was coming out of the paint...

but looking back it would have ended up being really tacky

yeah dont do that either that would be fruitloopish too

and not the kind of rice you want

Every time I see this thread I get annoyed.

What the hell were you thinking??? If you do this I will drive to RD to make fun of you. I'm totally serious.

HAHAHA thanks, I need to hear these things. Sometimes I just get dumb ideas trying to brainstorm on what to do next. I am ashamed of asking that question. I have since started smoothing them down I'm on my 3rd coat of high build and been blocking it for-what seems like-ever. It's gonna look like original equipment (I'm hoping).

go for it bro.
if it looks good to you,who cares what anyone else thinks.

i agree with boosted bullet
doesnt matter what anyone else thinks
if u like it its all good and if u dont like the way it looks after just replace it
its not like its a big investment haha
i wouldnt be ashamed just experiment
be different then the rest
real cf would probably look amazing in my opinion tho

I ordered a bunch of the real CF cloth and resins, it's expensive wow! I'm gonna try to overlay some small pieces for aesthetic purposes. Got a bunch of spare parts from the wreckers that I'm gonna try out. If it works it works, if not, I tried....
