Sure thing mate, that is why i didnt mention my business name at all.

That's beside the point im afraid, you are offering products and services to members and asking them to pm you for details.

This not permitted - If you want to do so, become a trader - Very simple.

I'm sure there would be tonnes of parts that people on here would want recreated in carbon fibre and a group buy could easily be organised. My friends on the supra forums always get together and get carbon fibre parts made in a large order (currently my friend is doing one for a supra dash).

Unfortunately as Blitz has said, people aren't allowed to advertise stuff if they aren't a trader, which puts this in a bit of a hard situation to organise.

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.

That looks heaps cool dude, are you able to get some closer shots of the vent?

I've seen them on overseas EVO forums, but I've always wondered how people did them lol

But that's what the Group Buy section is for.. If enough interest is generated then why not..

Just not sure how it would work if he is not a trader. I suppose he could do it as an EOI into a group buy and if enough interest is generated than sign up as a trader or something.

Or get some one else to do the group buy saying he is the source of the items.

well i wasnt going to become a trader for a few months until i had everything organised but if there is enough interest in this particular carbon fiber overlay onto oem interior parts i will become a trader and do larger order. but you have to understand it is not a cheap thing to do, it can get expensive. as i said above.

The trick is patience, making rear Brembo stickers out of vinyl individually cutting and weeding letters at 5.7 mm high teaches you patience, images show you what I mean. You will get there just takes time.

Lol yeah, I know patience is a must, but I wasn't talking about that :banana:

Was just wondering if you were able to wrap it in 1 piece or in pieces or if you needed to make a cut on sides of the inside of the vents :P

That one was one piece but takes to long manipulating the material, just wanted to know how far I could push it and I learnt a hell of a lot. Next time I would do a couple of slits but wouldn't be an issue to hide the joins.

But now every prick I know wants me to do stuff for them, one mate wants various roof, boot and bonnets done on 3 cars and it goes from there, supply isn't an issue now which is why I will be doing it.

You should see the 2010 dealers catalogue it has 6 to 8 colours for Carbon look now available to order, I got an earlier one yesterday but couldn't convince the guy to let me have the 2010 one.

Well once again Charles has done some great work! Always loved the look of weathersheilds but hated the fact they were brown. The answer was clear! carbon wrap :P Just finished fitting them to my car unfortunately its dark but this is the best photo i could get.

Love the new JDM look, much more aggressive :) Thanks Charles your a champ! :P

I don't want to take away from the greatness of this thread, but, a couple of weeks ago I wrapped my B-Pillar trims in the vinyl on my N15...

Unbelivable stuff to work with, but I have restrained myself from going too over the top...

After seeing the things wrapped in this thread I have to admit I have reconsidered... haha

Thanks for looking.

Here are some images of the last couple of things I did, mirror was fun with so many curves and other stuff is from having a lot of off cuts. Couple of people thought using this stuff was easy till they sat and watched me do the mirrors.

Charles how much Primer 94 do you have left and the weather shields is one of the best ideas I have seen for using DI-NOC, I did a windscreen banner on the work ute so the Rodeo's mirrors are next.

I bought a litre of the primer for $103, and I think I still have at least 600ml left lol.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
