carbon fiber "M"

I wsa just wondering if anyone could make the Mazda "M" out of carbon fiber. I would think you could make a mold out of it pretty easily and it would be cheap to make. Or any other symbols would be good too. Just wondering. Thanks.

If I made an M it would be rotary-style (see top-left corner of the page)

I'm thinking Dave Gibson. If he can get CF hoods done, this should be a walk in the park.

Funny you ask that. We actually already asked about maybe doing the rear Mazda and RX-7 words on the car done in CF and it wouldn't look right. It is too hard to shape real CF to make it look right. We asked about doing a single payer and building up resin over it to make it look like it was all CF, but he said that with that much resin it would look cloudy and wouldn't be that nice of a piece. Sorry

That would be a pretty cool graphic in carbon fiber. The rotor 'M' thingy, I mean

hmm... I guess this was put to rest before I even had a chance to donate my 2 cents.

None the less, how about a CF look-a-like graphic? Or at least something in that design made of something?

Just wondering, how do the honda guys have them made? I know their CF hoods aren't as good a quality as the ones you had made, so I just figured your guy could make some of these.
