Project Carbon Fiber
Project Carbon Fiber so this is my first time working w/ carbon fiber and I plan on wrapping various interior pieces w/ a 2x2 twill of it. I will be doing the shifter plate, the door handle bezels, the radio bezel, the gauge cluster and possibly some other parts. I first started off with the shifter plate...... I hate the fact that GM placed a cup holder right where your arm rests for the shifter so I did a cup holder delete (we have 3 other cupholders anyways lol). I shall be CFing the shifter plate tomorrow. I will be sure to post pictures as this project progresses

here are some pics of the cupholder delete.
the materials needed were:
- various grits from 60-180
- orbital w/ sanding attachments
- Expanding Foam
- Bondo Body Filler / hardener / squeegee
- Drill gun
- patience of course
Drilling these holes at the bottom of the cupholder provides extra strength for the expanding foam to hug onto.

That Bondo is going to crack but hopefully it won't matter as much since you're laying the carbon fiber over it. Bondo and plastic just don't go together as I found out when I did the cup holder and ashtray. The bondo heats up and cools down differently then the plastic which causes it to crack. I think mine lasted about a yr before it started to crack 
. Mine was also painted so alot more noticeable. If I were you if you still have time I'd take out that Bondo and use Evercoat's Polyflex filler.
