working with carbon fiber is no where near like working with fiberglass. You need a bunch of chemicals and adhesives for bonding, you need the actual sheets of carbon fiber which is VERY expensive for the good stuff, and i believe(don't quote me) but you may have to press or heat it as it cures, so for your basic garage, it is not possible.

why not do fiberglass? if you do it yourself its gonna look like ass but you could always buy one. which will probably be cheaper for ya in the end

Only looks good on certain cars... with your shade of gray car color, it wont look right... take Alex's (ta4life) for example, his colors dont clash ...

In other words, its like painting a berger panel flat black on a gloss black camaro lol

Making carbon fiber products gets pretty involved and its nothing I would attempt without proper equipment. I would say buy a light hood, but I don't know much about your situation.

Agreed, even tho Im not a fan of black wheels in general, Alex pulled them off very well with his color scheme. Alex's car is one of the top 3 i like on this site.

The entire top half is not black as a matter of fact, the new scheme will debut at the Nats.

Noah knows exactly how its going down.
