Thanks. I wasn't aware of how far he pushed it. If I could buy just flat carbon fiber paneling, I'd redo my door panels in that. I had to replace my near mint door panels cause I couldn't close the doors. The map pockets hit the roll bar, lol.

TX lol exactly

I'm not planning on marking them up and "SELLING" them.

I'm talking about them covering my COST OF MATERIALS. ROFL. This crap ain't exactly cheap.

BUT I just wanted to know who was interested since I (me and me alone) would have to BUY THE SUPPLIES FIRST. (I'm talking about $2500 in supplies...)

ROFL.

Mod's just lemme know if I can continue the posting or not. If not just PM me and I'll make a showoff thread or something when I have my set done next week.

LOL I DO indeed have a company that makes custom carbon fibre parts. But they are not (NOT car parts) they are for Firearms.

(go look at the last post I was not allowed to post because I had a "bang bang" item in the picture just to show off my work

Here is a picture of the GRIPS ALONE just to show the unpolished fabric product.
For anyone interested.

Thanks for the links, interesting DIY stuff. The hood would need a 48 X 60" piece. I could see a lot of this stuff on the interior of the widebody to give it a more finished look.

Meh, not interested in the look--that would just be ricer. If there is no functional advantage to a mod, I won't do it.

I'm still interested in covering the cost of supplies if these door panels get made.

TX Prelim Pics here.

Here are the prelim pics. Sorry so late I got busy and delayed.

These are pics of the panels in completely rough form. UN-trimmed, no holes drilled yet, UNPOLISHED, etc. Fresh out of the mold is what you are seeing. Just wanted everyone to take a gander.


More pics will come tomorrow with them on the door as well as polished and ready to fit.


Enjoy!

TX Yes.

I will have plenty of finished product shots for everyone soon I am still offering to make sets for people who want provided they pay for my materials.

I can't wait to show you the finished product.
