its not real carbon fibre

wouldn't it wear off easiley

:bowrofl: sorry mate missed your post where you said it was a film

yeah, its just that carbon fibre look alike contact stuff isnt it?

nah mate it is suprisingly easy just dont heat it up too much or it will burn,stretching the carbon is a pain though

its a thick meshy carbon material ,sorta like the green sun shade stuff

wouldn't it wear off easiley
I'm not sure about everyone else, but my hands aren't in constant contact with my centre console, gear shift surround or aircon vent surround... Or my delta covers lol

Awesome, can't wait :badgrin: hahaha.

its a thick meshy carbon material ,sorta like the green sun shade stuffSo is this a thin layer/sheet of REAL Carbon Fibre - or a look-a-like carbon fibre contact/sticker/decal style adhesive ?

its a meshy feel and you have to use contact adhesive with it the stuff is CARBOMESH i got from the markets in sydney last week end for $45 a metre

just finishing up my centre console[where stereo surround is] post pics in a minute

you know how they used to vinyl old car roofs.

We'll with the stuff being used here, I've found peeps covering there roofs with the carbon film.

It's looks kool..... but mmm, that's all it is. :confused:

no bagging you for what you've done, it does look good. spec on the cheap side. but lets keep in in the cabin ;)

Looks pretty sweet....:D

TBH when i see carbon fibre i think $$$$ and weight reduction...

When i first saw your post i'm thinkin WOW someone can mould CF... woot.. woot!!

but then was a little dissapointed when it was just film:doubt:

Its a cheap mod but still cool looking, just finishe d the stereo surround, i will take pics now

Most people just wet lay/wrap over the pieces either with a vacuum bag or just gravity.

'Snot that hard, just fiddly.

Unless you are doing something like a bonnet, the weight reduction is SFA.

Unless you are doing something like a bonnet, the weight reduction is SFA.

Me says their will be no weight reduction due to the fact it is being ADDED to exsisting interior bits.

I wanna see this! should look sweet!

so its not real carbon fibre am i right? i thought it was for a second until u said u used carbon film and spray adheasive. good job all the same

I think it looks really good!
Because really, besides us, to everyone else its real CF!

Me says their will be no weight reduction due to the fact it is being ADDED to exsisting interior bits.

Correct, unless you are replacing them, no loss. Only worthwhile for large bits.

uploading pics of console now people

yeah its real tight, you gotta really yank it. I worked up a sweat trying to take mine out. Also you said this film is $45 a meter? Isnt that a bit much for a film? Real carbon fiber can get that low. I would say its a film that contains real carbon fibers. Looks good either way, post the dash pics.

That's really easy, i've done that several times. Just push it from behind and it will pop out in front.

well this button must have been put in with epoxy cause it aint budging

This was my old project, but with real CF

But this is what she is now..., the CF was peeled off bit by bit (mistake on my part during preparation), so I decided to just paint it during my carpc project.

turned out awesome dood

Very nice. Who did you use for supplies, I'm having difficulty finding someone locally for CF supplies...

Did you clear coat or just a whole lot of coats of epoxy?

I got mine abroad, its a 3k twill, but yeah you can get it locally at www.solidsolutions.com.au only it's a plain weave. It's clear coated it and it turned out very smooth and shiny.

Any improvement on this bro?

the surround piece i reomved to recover has broken a clip onit[the one that connects it to the a/c] so i may have to buy another one and toss this one once i have done it i will pm you pics if ya want mate

Thanks! I need some for my headlight bezels (going CF for the bezel so I can fit a pair of Honda Accord Euro HID projectors and a pair of Hella 90mm highbeams + 5 superflux (per side) white LED's as parkers for a very different look:)

Thought about plain fibreglass, but CF is a bit special :)
