not really, but this will add some nice touches to the interior and under the hood. the vette guys have been doing this for a while. one guy had his entire wiper cowl dipped in this, looked really good.
Our tank is about 70 inches x 38 inches x 31 inches deep.
Not sure exactly on the dimensions, but this a large tank, and there are reasons we went this large.
Complete wheels, Large motorcycle parts, etc... We feel this will accomodate any requirements for large parts.

Thanks, Roger

This is probably some of the coolest stuff I've seen in a while. Can't wait to get some stuff done! Interested in pricing once it's available.

I'm definately going to be spending some money on this... Maybe a fuel rail cover/lid combo... Just great... Hey can u guys do te Ss rear spoiler in a carbon fiber pattern? If so, how close will it look to the real carbon fiber pattern? I've seen some "carbon fiber" finishes and they look pretty shitty

1 - I can do things in a brushed metal finished pattern
2 - Yes, absolutely
3 - I wouldn't try that.

We can absolutely do the part. You have to remember that this isn't real carbon fiber, but rather, an inexpensive alternative. It is a simulated carbon fiber finish; not a real one. A knowledgable person will be able to tell the difference up close.

There are many different styles of the carbon fiber available at least 12 of them. However, all can be made to be different colors. There are also a lot of other patterns, and designs we are deciding on to start with. Anyone have any ideas besides the carbon fiber?

Thanks, Roger

How about a sunburst pattern, say in tobacco or cherry, similar to a guitar sunburst finish?
