For all of you carbon fiber nuts I took some of our non usable prototype parts and added a touch of carbon fiber via a local company doing hydro graphics and I must say for not being true full off carbon fiber pieces they look pretty awesome. What do you think????

Is this something you are going to offer? Can you do the hydro carbon over the stock harness seat insert? The button looks really nice.

Those look great. Are you going to offer them? As the CF laminate must add some thickness, will they still fit?

The only real thickness change is the clear coat as the film is very thin. Now if you want the flat looking carbon without the gloss it wouldn't be much at all.

I'll stick to the real thing. I have side mirrors from Kip coming any day. That spray on stuff is definitely better than the simulated CF adhesive vinyl.

These water graphics look very nice, but if you have real carbon fiber parts or parts with carbon fiber overlays inside the vehicle there not going to match.

Is that the same process that is used to make simulated wood?

Yes and I am being told that there are over 300 different patterns available

I have always been curious how that stuff is made.

I agree ED that the real thing is "The Bomb" but for parts that are not available in carbon fiber this can be a great alternative.

These water graphics look very nice, but if you have real carbon fiber parts or parts with carbon fiber overlays inside the vehicle there not going to match.

Here is a picture of real carbon fiber directly next to a hydro graphic piece and they are not that far off side by side but when you put them two feet away it real hard to tell the difference from the two. IMO

Will post some pics once everything is installed on Monday but unfortunately we just cried uncle on getting my car to the Rally :(

Car still having some issues that are preventing it from making it.

will get some good pics though. Petunia pulled out all the stops to get my parts to me in time and can't express my thanks enough!

Anybody tempted to go with his billet parts should do it. Quality is awesome and the service is fantastic!!!
