it looks cool...show car touches

[Hazwan]

Thats cool! Nice work, as always :thumbup:

[Josh89accord]

Damn thats nice. I need to do this also, I can get my hands on some CF for cheap.

[LxAcc510]

Shit that looks pretty good.

[87roach]

Damn that's really nice man, I love things like this. Great job on getting the perfect fit too.

[markmdz89hatch]

i like it a lot. ...but I really like the DX rear pods as they don't have those raised grills, they're just flush. I think it would really look sick to make a DX style one (flush) and just perforate the c/f with a patterned bunch of drilled holes so you get good sound travel, and get the super clean look of a c/f flat.

Edit: why not just use plastic filler to get the C, B and A-pillar panels smooth (ie. cover over the texture) then just blanket everything in c/f. ...I do believe that would look ridic!

found these babies at the junk yard today and put them on the hatch:cheers:

Lucky ass. haha Man your hatch is getting sicker and sicker. Keep up the great work bro.

[ghettogeddy]

im thinking of going all black

[oldschool3g]

i used the dupli color vinyl and fabric cans from autozone...then some clearcoat. did it a long time ago and havent had a problem

[codyJDM]

That looks so good dude!! I love it.

[oldschool3g]

That looks so good dude!! I love it.

[oldschool3g]

i used dupli color crystal clear can paint also. i didnt use clearcoat on all the parts. for the larger parts im thinking of getting like a quart of clear since i have a gun now.

[LxAcc510]

Your door panel looks clean as fuck.

[labeledsk8r]

that looks amazeing, what else do you plan to do in CF ??

[oldschool3g]

Your door panel looks clean as fuck.

thanks man..the hardest part was sewing and installing the new black seatbelts

[oldschool3g]

that looks amazeing, what else do you plan to do in CF ??

[86ccord]

Go for it mayn

[turabaka]

man if you could make entire door panels out of Carbon Fiber I would buy a set from you. Pretty please?

[race12001]

man that is hot and im with turabaka the whole door pannel would be sweet.

[oldschool3g]

doing the entire door panels with cf would be wayy too expensive

[mykwikcoupe]

im with mark get a few sets of the flush style and Id buy a front set and a rear set.

[turabaka]

doing the entire door panels with cf would be wayy too expensive

what about making a custom set out of fiberglass? They don't need to be super complex or anything. Just a handle and hole for the window crank is all I really care about. In fact that's the way I'd prefer it.

[oldschool3g]

here she is guys...had a lot of extra time yesterday and today and decided to do one side...what do you think:)

[84Accord]

damn. i love it. turned out awesome :thumbup:

[Pico]

thats fantastik looking

[oldschool3g]

thanks guys still needs more clearcoat but i ran out

[Nafs Asdf]

Damn that's nice, tho imo it would need the lower part to be CF too to look complete. The purple-ish fabric part.

[OldSkoolA20accord]

make a carbon fiber hatch. then doors.

[oldschool3g]

its not puple in person its black..i dont know why it comes out purple in pictures...maybe cause i bought the cheap fabric..lol.

[87roach]

Nice man, that's bad ass.

Did you just glue it on the board? Use any resin? What did you use for clear coat? How many coats? Do anything in between the coats?

You must have a big roll of this stuff..

Hehe, ok... would still look awesome if it was CF too ;)

well since i can't spend any more money i used whatever i had in the garage:)..all i used was laminating resin..and yes i know i shouldve used epoxy but im on a budget..lol. i just brushed about 3 coats waited for it to get tacky between coats..let it cure over night..sand the crap out of it untill smooth..then sprayed on a few coats of clear to protect from yellowing i hope:)

[lostforawhile]

ok so you just layed out the cf then put the resin right over it?
you know the dash pad comes off with screws,the entire thing, could copy it in fiberglass easy and lay carbon fiber over it, then have a carbon fiber dash pad.

[87roach]

Hmm, maybe I'll play around with some this year..

Lost, as tempting as that is IMO I think carbon fiber is a nice accent as oppose to full out CF parts. Although some cars can pull it off really nice. Can't say anything about the 3g since no one has done anything like that.

[oldschool3g]

here is some more carbon fiber overlaying i did today:)..i got bored

[Rendon LX-i]

lol wow,,,,,your to much nice

[Civic Accord Honda]

damn the speaker pods are pure sex! now make some for the ED!

[mykwikcoupe]

ok man thats it. from this post on make 2 of everything as your doing it. I want everything. You know have to make a few chioces, how much, how fast, what other parts can you do. Pm me if you decide to start selling this stuff. if you can get the pillars to all lay the proper angle so they match Ill take as set and all the little things that pop out your doing know.

[lostforawhile]

can you do a tech on how you do the overlays? i really would like to do one of these dash pads. i think I would have to glass it and smooth it out first for a stable surface to work on. but the entire dash pad comes off of the hard part of the dash
