Re: Carbon Fiber PICS mhulslan........thought that I would bring this thread back form the dead......a couple of things,...
did you ever get your camera working?..pics?....
I just got my stuff in from Fiberglast, 3 yards and all the resins, some of the instructions that I got from them over the phone differed from yours, can I e-mail you so we can discuss the finer points?....

Re: Carbon Fiber PICS Im thinking of the possibilities of making other stuff out of carbon fiber for our cars besides just stuff for looks. Head light delete. For the drag racers that want to take out the head lights and keep the stock look. They can paint over the carbon fiber and its a whole lot lighter. Carbon fiber nitrous bottle holders, amp racks, so on so on. And the fact that your going into buisness, you can do this type of stuff like they do in mail order. You can do it like most shops do ported heads, send them the carbon parts and they pay a core charge and get it back onve theyre factory uncovered parts are recived.

No, I gave up on the camera (turns out that it's my system) and got an X-box. This summer I'll get a new computer. I just don't feel like doing much with the f**king things when I get home.
