Hi all,

I would like to cover my door trims with some Carbon Fibre flat panels but have no idea where I can get them from? Im aware that you can get after market 'molded' ones (but they cost heaps) so I literally just need two flat pieces big enough to cover my doors and then i'll cut to size. Should be a lot cheaper! Any ideas on where I can get that sort of Carbon Fibre?

Cheers,

Glen

I honestly don't know how you could cover your door panels with flat unless you are just doing some of the inserts that are totally flat.

Seriously have a look around a doing some covering, but you are going to be surprised how expensive just the raw carbon material is. It is about $70-100 per square meter in oz and about $30+ in the US.

Oh sorry man I made a mistake, I ment to say that I have taken the original door trims off my car (i've pretty much taken everything out of my car...) and now want to cover it up with Carbon fibre flat panel.

Hi,

We have two flat panels available in Carbon Fibre. 80 x 80cm and 50 x 50cm. Both are 1mm thick sheets.

Please let me know if your interested.

Cheers,

Shane

Oh bummer they fall just short (well kinda) because I will need them more around the measurements of 110 x 50cm. :P

Rob from www.hybridcustoms.com.au here in WA makes a true Carbon Fibre universal door skin with the dimensions being up to 1200mm wide by 1000mm deep with 40mm lip, images below are the finished product made for an R35 and some photos of them being infused.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
