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

jinxor · 12-03-2008, 09:22 PM

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.

don't look 1/2 bad... not sure what they guy was thinking with all the red CF on the blue car...... this coming from a guy with pink wheels

TEHxFALLEN V1.2 · 12-03-2008, 09:31 PM

Well, I guess I'll have a hand at this.. maybe I can be good, if not, GREAT at this and start doing stuff...

The red goes along with the pink I guess lol

What's the story behind the wheels anyways?

sportin83 · 12-03-2008, 10:03 PM

where can you get these materials to do this at?

Quick, think of the most obnoxious color you can paint your wheels.....

that is pretty much it, I came up with hot pink, light reflective road paint

Lazy people! READ!

FG-CFT5750 CF fabric
FG-CK99250 Carbon Kevlar red/black (there are tons of other colors too)
EPOX-635312 15 minute epoxy
All from this site: http://www.shopmaninc.com/products.html
Then you need sandpaper; 400, 600, 800 and 1000 grit
Urethene spray on clear coat

Misc: Blowtorch or eat-a-bubble to get rid of the bubbles
Sponge brushes or some kind of brush
Acetone solvent to clean tools and whatever
Wax cups to mix epoxy in
Plastic spoons or some other stirrer

In that case

If I had the balls to do so, I'd paint my wheels green LOL

try uscomposites.com thats where i order from

IsLNdbOi · 12-03-2008, 10:39 PM

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.

battleversiontc · 12-04-2008, 03:13 AM

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

bzinn 1 · 12-04-2008, 10:56 PM

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.

Nexus1155 · 12-04-2008, 11:03 PM

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

Sodium Duck · 12-04-2008, 11:09 PM

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

talnlnky · 12-04-2008, 11:11 PM

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.
