looks pretty ghetto hackjob like to me. i guess its cool to have parts you made yourself but those need a little more work.

it looks much easier than it is, I saw a video on youtube where they were making guitars from CF and pretty much said the whole process. There is a post on YW somewhere talking about it.

Would it be difficult for people who know how to work with fiberglass to make one of those Canadian / European double din stereo trim pieces (with the 180mm opening) for the LB using the stock one (with the 200mm opening) as a template?
Top one: trim piece with proper size opening for double din head units (found in Canadian and European Yarii with the Eclipse AVN2210P / TomTom HU). Bottom one: the stock trim piece in the US LB. |

i believe it would as you would need to fill up the rest of the space with material to get the shape in order to make it cause all your doing is an overlay on the piece your making so it could be done but kinda harder cause you gotta get the right dimensions and stuff

If you can work with fiber glass and know how to mix differant types of resins properly and lay them out you can do CF.but I do recomend starting on flat pieces first.
It is also spendy to get started......very spendy......the resin alone to do a few parts will set you back a few hundred.CF is fairly cheap to buy,but it is the resin that will get you....alsong with the hardener,sand paper,work surface,brushes,acetone,cups ,measuring tools,so far I am in about $400 and have not made a piece yet....LOL. When spring comes I will start making new panels in my tC......so far going to build a new center in my back panels with a pod for the comps.....figure on about 2 weeks of long hours working it to make it turn out good. |

They sell high temp heat guns for a reason, what a moron...
Resin is $25 a gallon for Kleer Kote Epoxy + Hardener CF is $33 a yard last time i bought it |

Maybe you could just build up a ton of bondo then sand it down to the right shape?

If you've never played with fiberglass... then I would reccomend to stay away from cf..... stuff is spendy... and takes a bit of talent.... playing with glass first would prolly be a lil cheaper and give you some of the skills.
