More carbon fiber wrapping - Toyota Yaris Forums

Here's some more pieces I'm working on.

Side trim pieces for stereo and climate control.

Vios rear window visor

Glove box (inside)

The outline you see in the third pic towards the middle is a cut-out I made because I store my Sirius, HD radio, and MSN Direct tuners in the glove box and I need to run the wires out to the receiver.

Glove box (outside)
I added a MI decal and it will be covered in resin.

I'm wrapping all the visible parts, mounting all my add-on's in it, adding some l.e.d.'s and putting a lexan cover over the top so when you open it up there's a lighted display.

Can't wait to see everything finished!

You are pretty friggin good with that stuff. Ever think about doing it for money?

I know I would send you my engine cover to start with. I don't care if I would have to wait a week or two for it, your work is amazing.

I also know if I had those skills I would be advertising my services here like crazy.

Thanks for the compliments. I really don't have enough free time to be taking on a bunch of projects. Maybe one or two at a time. If you want your engine cover done, PM me and we can work something out.

It all depends on the part. I think its more time consuming than it is difficult.

CF is easy to work with really,but it gets spendy and takes a bit of time to get the coats flat and smooth.....love the work man,I cannot wait to start doing mine this Fall.

I agree. Most of the work is sanding. I usually end up putting 5-6 coats of resin on each piece. Everything else is easy. The resin and hardener was the most expensive part for me. The CF itself is only about $30/yard.
