Im not an expert but during year 11 & 12 I did a fair bit of composite work (Carbon/Kevlar). I can't remember our exact ratios but we certainly knew when we had them wrong :p
Where abouts on the car does that piece actually go?

They go on the door panels these ones were for my mates car, but ill be doing my ej8 soon

did the carbon affect the fit of the panel?

looks awesome!!

yer man that fit snug
just dont make the thick resin around the edges
i found a shop in seven hills for all the nsw members
but most fibreglassing shops should stock them
good thing to ring around thats what i did:)
thanks for the rates guys keep it coming:)

will you do a similar DIY for the bonnet?

Wow, this thread is great!

Carbon Fibre is like JDM bling... Thanks for the instructions bro!

That looks great

nice work :thumbsup:

just 2 questions if u dont mind...

1. was there any noticable warpage/shrinkage once the resin cured?

2. working on the same principle, if i inserted say a sheet of say baking paper in between the mould and the fibre cloth, do u think i'd be able to remove the cured fibre off the mould, or would the resin stick to the baking paper anyway?

thanks

great DIY....

looks good too
