Newbie wants to know CF

General Composites Discussions Products Talk
#1

I am a newb around here, as you can tell, but I do like to work with my car alot. I have done some fiberglassing, and I am pretty sure im ready to get my hands on some carbon fiber.

I have read up on alot of the thread around the site, but i still dont totally get whats going on with CF.

I want to start small and easy. Here is one peice of my car that i had someone make for me. I think it would be a good starter peice. (peice around guages)

Eventually i would like to do an overlay of my trunk. Here is a pic of it as it sits now.

I dont think It would be that hard to do, its pretty flat and only takes the one corner.

I saw a thread about products being avalible on this site, but I cant seem to find the forum or area of the site.

So for making the flat hard 3in X 7in peice what should I get and how should I go about it?

Basically im just looking for some newbie help, and info on where to buy products at a decent price. Also what products are reccomended…

Thanks
Nate

Can’t go wrong with a piece of glass for making flat panels.

hey, did you get my pm?

Yes, but I have a CF dask kit (seen in pic above) and i think the CF pannel would look better than a painted FG pannel.
