haha yer too lazy to get a stanley knife i got pharyngitis and was like so bored at home decided to give it a go!

thanks for the advice jus hav to decide on what to do next :D

Haha, a few more pieces later, you wouldn't even need to decide on what to do, you'll just wrap without realising it hahaha.

Just had some interior bits done on my 34 by Charles. Thanks mate. Top effrot! :D

Cheers pal, glad you are happy with it :(

Im curious to know if anyone has tried clear coating any of the parts they have covered with the vinyl yet? just interested to know what it would look like

Yea mate, clear coating the vinyl is not a very good idea.....

Yes it does protect the vinyl, but because the vinyl has been embossed to create the CF pattern, clear coating it will fill all the indentations, which makes the vinyl look like gloss black and the shiny CF effect would be reduced.

Let me know when you're confident in doing the tripple gauge holder so I can get you to do my stock one. I'll also get you to do the shifter/head unit surround once I get a stock one in my hands.

All sweet dude, I'll keep you updated when I re-attempt my triple gauge cover :D

As for the other parts, just lemme know when.

yreah charles did.. its a couple of pages back..

Must have missed it, i went back but didnt see any pics, are there any pics uploaded?

If anyone on here wants it done properly i have a contact who does professional 100% carbon fiber laminating on oem parts. quality is seccond to none. it is costly but you cannot really put a price on what the finished product looks like, and unlike the shitty copy products off ebay and the shit most stores sell all straight from china it fits just the same as it did before.

if anyone is deadly serious and wants it done, send me some detailed pics and description what you want. can be up to 200-300 for a larger part, and less for smaller parts, but the more pieces i get sent the cheaper it can be. (this price will include shipping back to your door.)

any questions pm me please only ask if you are serious about getting the work done

Ok now this is getting interesting! So judging by the pics, that is putting a real carbon fibre coating on products? Any way you can share the business name rather than dealing through you? (no disrespect to you, but i'm sure we would like to know who we are dealing with)

That looks suspiciously like the work of Mad Coatings.

From what I've seen in person, they're damn expensive but looks amazingly good.

That doesn't look like mad coatings work. Those above pics look like proper carbon fibre. The above process appears to be what these guys do.

Here is my nights work with the vent being a fun job, from what I have seen the cheap stuff is cheaper for a reason. I do use sign writing vinyl every day and I have an electronic heat gun with 10 degrees increments so it is a tad easier for me.

Had to do the badges for the hell of it to the extent of each tips weave running a different way.

Last year i actually started my own importing business doing High quality Bokykits and carbon fiber parts. not just cheap copies but all of my moulds are made straight off of genuine parts, giving the best acuuracy, fittment and quality to every fiberglass or carbon product which is made. 90% of my parts are pre drilled and only the highest grade materials are used to keep strength and eliminate distortion of the part. It took a long time to source my supplier and to verify the high quality of the parts and moulds they make for me(by trial fitting the raw products) Part of my business is I actually take orders and sublet the (carbon fiber laminating)work to my supplier. i have only just started this business and have not even left my other job yet because i cant find a decent workshop yet and my webpage is only just being started next month. So i cannot give the name of the company because they do not do single orders as they have a min order quantity. As i said if anyone has a genuine interest in getting only the BEST quality work around, pm me. thankyou.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
