they make a carbon fiber vinyl.
i've seen it in person. you can't tell the difference.
one of the shops i deal with did their tundra. they said it's like the clear bra that they install on front of cars.
Are you serious? You must need your eyes checked. The CF vinyl looks nothing like real CF, doesn't even feel the same. I was at sema last year and yeah every car had it. Go real or GTFO

grow up.
not everyone is as cool as you.
i'm stating that there is carbon fiber vinyl. it LOOKS like it, but it doesn't FEEL like it.
The vinyl wrap was actually pretty impressive to me. I've seen some that were laughable but the Wraptivo was really pretty good. Obviously there is no weight savings but for people interested in looks then it seems like a good product. But really there are so many better ways to save weight than buying a $700 hood. Here's the link to the brand I am talking about.
yea i know a guy up here that does it... i might do it but i'm still debating if i want too or not... keep u guys posted...
Don't do it!
Vinyl is for advertising!
It might look good, but everyone is secretly laughing at you (some not secretly). If you can't afford a carbon fiber hood, don't waste your money trying to get the look. Then people are reminded of how broke you are lol
i like how u welded a peg on your radiator and utilized the pas side stock bracket. simple clean and effective im so doing mine like that.[/quote:8n9jpmhl]

The funny thing about Wraptivo is its more expensive than real carbon fiber. I've been communicating with the Wraptivo marketing manager from Meguiars and he sent me out some sample sheets. We were thinking about using the flat black or flat white wrap for the surface of FRP racing seats to use instead of gel coat. Once I found out the price for a 48" x 60" sheet I changed my mind. $130
I'm impressed with the quality, it's a 3M product.
If all you're doing is prepping for paint, all you should be doing is a light sand to scuff the surface, and a couple shots of primer with sanding and then paint. The clear is plenty thick for a scuff. You don't have to worry there. cmerce would probably make you a totally fiberglass hood, and it would still be quite light. I don't know how much cheaper it'd be though, as there's plenty of labor involved.

It's not fake though. It's functional.
Now if you put an amber sticker on, that's different.

When you're ready to start producing again, let me know and we'll get you back in the vendor section
Sounds good, it's a little too cold right now to do much composites work, but not for much longer.
I don't know about selling the tool :!: :!: :!:
