i'll prolly make a DIN panel.. but like i said.. its going to take a while..
no i've never worked with fiberglass before.. and i'm aware that making molds is costly.. but if i can sell 2 sets after completion.. then i can make my money back. Thats why i'm guaging the interest. Its going to be a couple months, as i'm a full time student, full time employee and full time boyfriend.. so what little time and resources i have will go to completing my side project.
If you WANT something special, i'd need an original to make a mold of. I'm not at the stage where i can craft things from my barehands
So if i've got some interest... i'm willing to make somethings, but it will take some time Thanks everyone!

And we all can still see that you're an *******, and get this, you don't have to change **** in order for that to happen.

Some of us are "old"....so our eye sight is bad. Switching back and forth to italics kills my eyes too.

OK for those who REALLY want CF stuff . Here some real good stuff.
If you never worked with FRP before, dont try CF first. Try gelcoating,cutting and rolling roven woven in a fast setup and then making the proper mold ribs is not easy.smells will get you brain fried(1st time) and will likely cost you a couple hundred if you mess up.
But I highley recommend getting www.fibreglast.com videos on this stuff.

check with air tech and arc plastics, they will give you samples. do alot of research before you even try to make a mold. do you want to vacuum bag the items, what resins are you going to use, etc?
alot of this is trial and error. you are probably gonna spend a couple hundred dollars and make at least half a dozen crap molds before you get something that will work. be patient and like l8t apex said, please read the MSDS and follow the safety precautions.

anything that gets rid of the cheapass, squeaky, lowgrade beancounter plastic that sucks the life out of the 3rd gen interior I will buy. It has to be cheaper than the OEM stuff.
I'll buy a set when they are ready
