composite envisions starter kit

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the starter kit sold by composite envisions at http://compositeenvisions.com/vacuum-infusion-starter-kit-886.html .

I am brand new to working with carbon fiber and would like to make a few auto body panels. My desire to work with carbon fiber is more curiosity than anything.

In the past, I have made a couple of motorcycle fairing from fiberglass. I understand the basics of mold making and working with fibers and resin.

Any other starter kit recomendations would be appreciated.

thanks
David

I didnt get their sample pack, I just ordered my own stuff to get an idea of what I need/want. I have had no issues with them, their product seems great (nothing to compare against though), and prices are some of the best I have found.

Only placed 2 orders with them, both about $200 each

I would say a vac chamber is a must so you can infuse with bubble free resin. This by far payed the biggest dividends when I was starting out with infusion.
