They look tight as hell.

Real CF?

 

Looks like uneven and pitted clear but it's hard to tell by just pix

yes very real CF. also they are not pitted or uneven bro, That's the process when hand laying it takes weeks to perfect the look. The final product was the two top pictures. I showed how it is when you lay ,bake lay sand , then the final product. Very time consuming.

 

Must be pricey as hell but it looks soo good. Im jelly

 

You willing to make a set to sell? PM me if so.

are the whole doors going to be that blue?

 

no that's it for the inside door i'm waiting to buy another switch i sat on it and broke it lol. I have to have the outside doors plugged and molded for black Carbon Fiber doors later.

 

would you ever consider making a pair or showing me the steps? I stay in Phoenix aswell

 

I can make you a pair to save you money. If you try this on your own it'll end up paying more in the mistakes you'll make and the supplies you need for Kevlar. it's much different than Carbon Fiber and more rigid. I can depending on what you want. Carbon fiber is 100.00, Carbon Kevlar is 130.00 and Carbon Spectra which is new its silver or whit its the strongest fabric and hard as crap to deal with. lol that's 190.00 a for a set of 4. let me know if you interested and we can use Paypal to do transactions. However I will need your set of clips to do the project for you. I could have them done in two- 3 weeks or less after I start.

 

The Carbon Fiber F-1 Fenders

Hey guys I'm now on my fenders and front fascia while I'm waiting to order other parts. So I'm going to skim thru on the fenders and front fascia for you guys for the Carbon fiber. Here are the first stage of the fenders and the laid stage. This will sit like this for up to 48 hours as of today. Pictures are included in the next reply

 

Okay here is the starting pictures. I have to still trim the parts and let it sit for 48 hours while I'm preparing to size up the fascia for carbon fiber only on the air inlet area on the invader 2 front fascia and the other fender.

 

I know with complex shapes it's hard to get the weave to be uniform, but if you could get that to lay down just a bit more uniformly the door handle surrounds interest me, as the Eclipses have the same door handle as the Galant. I would need four though.

Overall, great stuff man :yesway:

 

wetamup2k3g, Carbon fiber seemed easier but that damn Kevlar is a bitch around curves and gets rigid fast. Plus this is my first time going out on a limp but I know with practice comes perfecting kit and once i get the vacuum infusion kit and molding machine i can do bigger and better things. Right now I'm good crawling my way end lol.

 

here the stages for the front fascia is been sanded as I post these. The fenders are waiting to be sanded in a few hour hours to level everything out, before adding the last two coats. After all that I will re-sand from 220 up to 2500 grit so I can add 4 coats of clear coat to the fenders. The fascia will be sanded then, taped off to allow the design I want to show for the air inlet, while the rest of the fascia becomes black. Then I will clear coat the whole fascia with 5 coats of clear to pop out the black with the carbon fiber. All this in the next month a long but fun process.

 

Good damn. just avoid spped bumps or it will be expensive as hell. Props on this project, it looks amazing as hell

 

looks very nice

 

Thanks man. such a long process. lol The fascia is now waiting to be painted to black.
Ill be sanding these fenders in a few hours.

 

Thanks Jerm.. Yeah Carbon fiber is very strong.. Soo the speed bumps will have to watch out when I'm done with this. So today I can say everything has been sanded and today I will go through and sand out all my pits with 1000 git and 1500 grit. Time to wet sand the fascia and later start the primer stage for the fascia. Also I have to pull out all the other trim from inside from the back seat buckle area all the way to the rear hatch paint, and layer some other areas with the Blue Hybrid. Also paint that freaking Beige headliner black.:turboboink:

 

Okay so here are the fenders at the final stage for the clear coat. I have to wait till o get money now to finish but this is clear coat 1 and 4 more to go. Also I have to sand the inside and bottom where the screws are to be to finish the final total fenders. The Fascia has been sanded today to level off the Carbon fiber resin to blend in when the fascia is painted and the Carbon fiber clear coated.

 

like a pro

 

you sound like my landlord. He's like damn man you come a long ways. Those are damn good... Now let me finance your black ass so I can get a cut into your profits :lol: Still have a small ways to go though, and months before they even get to the car because I have to get all that's not changing on the outside painted Jet black.:sweat:

 

I have a question. . with this blazing Phoenix heat how do you think the fenders will hold up with the heat?

 

I don't know yet but I can say the dash is doing okay. I just have to go with trail and error. However it should be fine. I use UV protection resin Then i polish it out, then I clear coat wit dupli color clear coat for added UV protection. However the only reason the dash will be done again is because I need a whole dash in mint condition my dash was crumbled to nothing but I revived it. My standards has to be reached. But for me that's was my test to go to the fenders and I believe if the dash can handle a temperature of 120+ then the fenders will be fine. If you use the high quality products you will have no issues. Also I'm going to invest in High temperature Resin and Hardener for the future. if you want you can look into US composite or fibreglast .com for the quality I use. Never by ebay unless your 100% sure with the company's quality fabric and Resin.

 

All i know is that im jealous. i had thought about doing that too lol i saw this a while back and i think that its going to look so clean. nice work man

:yum:

 

any updates on the progress?

 

Hey bro I'm on a standstill till august waiting on my money from my school reimbursement. Also life happened my car took a shit on the way to Walmart after having it since march and only putting 400 miles on her the water pump went out and the sensor need replacing.Since I'm fighting the VA for my compensation I'm stuck till school send me my loot.Then I can continue. lol Must say the CF project is expensive though lol. I 'll post again when I start up again. Tomorrow I will replacing my coolant temperature and sending unit sensor. Been slightly handicap was a great challenge dealing with the water pump lol. Remind me of days in the military working on vehicles. Okay enough of that Ill post up when I start again with the process.

 

how much do you think you will spend on the whole thing once your done?

 

Too be honest my whole project may be around 15000.00. Thats including re doing some mistakes in my trail and error and for the engine work, turbo addon from godspeed, mold the doors to Fiberglass lambo dooor's and the CF setup, paint job, rims and body kit, a new engine on the side, and new transaxle and stiffen upthe supension and add a 10-20 gal. fuel cell. Ill be on this project for a while Ionly put like 400-500 miles on it in 3 months.
