CF'd my engine cover

I just need to cut out the oil cap hole and add a couple more coats of resin. This is after wetting out the matt and applying it. I ran out of resin so I couldnt work on it anymore.



I sanded the Toyota and VVT-i off of the cover. I may make real CF covers that you can just apply over your engine cover. Anyone interested?

IT LOOKS GOOD. I PERSONALLY WOULD HAVE LEFT THE VVT-I ON THERE BUT GREAT JOB ANY WAYS.

I dont think the matt would've wrapped around the lettering right. I wanted to do it that way but since I'm not vacuum bagging it would be hard.

I'm not planning on selling them. I said I was going to make one, I was just showing the pic.

I can do any CF you see out there. The problem with trying to sell them though is there are full replacement covers out there already for a decent price. I can compete a lil but my quality wont be as good, I think anyway, havent seen a purchased one. Thw weave isnt distorted at all, but the edges are NOT going to be rolled. Just cut to the edge and then sanded smooth. It still looks nice and the Yaris engine bay covers it up a lot anyway.

I have done a search and the only thing I can find is a C-One cover in the UK that goes for 225lbs ($443USD)

Where have you seen covers for a Decent Price? I would love to see a link if you got one!

Ebay, try Scion XB cover. They're 150ish with shipping. I can prolly do it for 75-100. If you want one I will take half up front, ship me your cover and I wrap it, send the other half of the payment and I will ship you your cover back. OH, just noticed you're in Philly, I could meet you half way in Allentown or something to save on shipping.

ALSO, if you want it fast please dont enlist my services. I can do it pretty quick but I have a lot of work going on at my house right now and a newborn baby. If youre a lil patient shoot me a PM. I'm not talking about months but maybe 1-3 weeks. Somewhere in that time line.

Glad to see you kept it nice and tight, and all in the same direction.

Ive seen some real shit DIY jobs before when wraping parts in CF.

Did you vaccuum bag your piece? It looks really almost perfect!

Thanks, no vacuum bag. I wet out the matt really well, it sucked almost right to the piece.
