carbon fiber 99 spec tail light covers

Okay I got 2 sets ready to sell or install. They are made of real carbon fiber. Sorry for the bad pictures.






Installed



Install price is 110 dollars
Price includes the disassembly of your lights, installation of the covers, reassembly of your lights, polishing of the outer headlight housing, and return shipping. If you get them to me on a Friday I can ship them back to you on Monday.

If you want to install the covers yourself the price is 55 dollars shipped. Installation requires the following
1) Disassembling your lights

2) Trimming the edges of the covers to fit your lights (simply clamp them to your lights and use a sanding block with a piece of 100 grit sand paper. Only minor trimming is required)

3) Masking off the lights with the included vinyl circles and painting the lights black. I recommend using a plastic paint. This step is optional but I recommend it because carbon fiber is a woven material and there is a chance the light will go through the weave. Covers are several layers thick, better to paint the lens then to assemble them only to find out light does go through. It will also help keep light from going around the edges of the covers

4) Attach the lens to your lights; you can use glue double sided tape, or what ever. I use glue.

5) Reassemble your lights.

I accept paypal or money order. If you have questions email me mark@carbonfiberparts.net

mkoch1,

Tell me when you get another set completed. You live in White Marsh right? I'd be willing to come and pick them up if it would save you some trouble.

Thanks,

Matthew Walsh

i'd imagine that you'd still have to spray paint around the edges to keep light seeping out from the sides? They look pretty cool though.

Mark,

What tips do you have for 'polishing' the outter lens of the lights? I have been trying to freshen mine up a little.

Also, who do you recommed for carbon fiber work now that you are out of the game? I still want to get my interior panels done. Thanks.

I use this stuff and it works great. I just spin it on a air powered buffing wheel. Be carful not to build up to much heat or you will burn/melt the plastic.

Can't help you with the carbon work, don't know of anyone else who does custom overlays. Once my travel schedule at work slows I'll get back to doing interiors, but it will be several months.

Not right now. I will be traveling with my real job alot over the next few months so I have pretty much stopped all carbon work. Only doing little parts when I am in town. Check the site www.carbonfiberparts.net every now and then I'll remove the closed message when I have more free time again.

Thanks! I will give this a try.

I can hold out for a little bit so I'll keep on eye on your website for when you're ready to start doing the overlays once again.
