the start of my custom carbon fiber project with G3
Working with Alan on other projects I have asked Alan to make some stuff for me for my own car
I have sent him the stock induction cover to have some real carbon put on it
Plans are to finish the top in real carbon with the C6 logo added back in color like the door sills G3 make
The next thing will be my FRC's
Alan is going to fill in smooth the LS3 and the Corvette lettering. The Corvette lettering will be replaced with the Grand Sport lettering
These will be the first of a new offering we will have available for everyone on a made to order basis for now unless they become popular.
Alan made us a video to share and we also are going to try and take a video of the actual process to complete. The will be showing the details and work that goes into something like this as its not just simple thing to do. With real carbon fiber parts so expensive it will hopefully give a better idea as to why the cost is so high with the amount of work that goes into them.
So
This is so far where he is at with the project

This is awesome, I'm just getting started with doing some DIY Carbon Fiber. I've done my side skirt mudflaps and intake cover so far. Can you post up some info how how you lay up and cut the CF cloth around the edges and the mounting brackets? Without fraying the fabric and keeping such a straight edge and not getting epoxy where you don't want it.
Here's my intake cover DIY so far (not completed yet). I've been taking lots of pictures am going to post up a how-to when I get done, but I could use the advice on some of those more advanced cuts he's making.
