i was wondering is it possible to get iroc louvers in carbon fiber?

Honestly, i've not even seen them in fiberglass yet or something more stable than that 80's plastic they came in. Good luck on finding CF.

we all need to band together and get some made lol. im thinking about putting some on my car after paint

Cheaper to have them done in that water soluable printing stuff that all the ricers use for fake carbon parts.

eah but two things. first my baby(my car) is too important to put fo carbon on it. and two, its hard to cover the ones there. also not to mention the newones would not be so brittle

bump

Get with a local place that does carbon fiber and have them make ya a set.
Try http://www.s2carbonworks.com/ for local. I've seen his stuff in person, and it's nice. I even got a quote on getting something done.... Pricing seemed reasonable, but don't expect less than $150.

it was alot of work though

are those real or fake? They look awesome.

classified information, if i told ya id have to kill ya

I don't care about my life as much as carbon inserts so go ahead and tell

i'll put $500 on it and say they are fake. :wink:

post a picture of the back side please.

Count me very interested.

its not real carbon fiber, its a vinyl you can buy, i have it, but it looks real good.

thats not fair!!!!!!!

lol


kinda off topic but i have been trying to load this page for like 3 days and it loads barriers and the ad but no text?????whats going on?!!!!

bingo. Thats why I said show the under side. You can see bubbles in the "R" side louver.

sorry for letting the cat out og the bag lol.

oooo me likey

yes they are fake lol thanks for ruining it man! it is a great vinyl i found, ive actually done my cellphone with it as well as a few lil peices inside the Iroc. the paint on them wasnt the best otherwise it wouldnt have bubbled and in the sunlight youd never know. have people loving them alot. i do plan on using real carbon fiber to redo them over winter. ill post if your lucky hahaha

I wasn't gonna call you out, by showing mine but since your "out" now anyways, here's mine....



My ROH Snyper center caps...

Door handle inserts....

did a good job, but its definatly not as good as the stuff i have not to put it down or anything. but with mine it actually has a texture and weave to it, also has that carbon fiber shimmer as the light goes over

I'm sure those louvers were done like my stuff was. Nothing water soluable, but vinyl, just likes stripes or lettering in vinyl.

And that is YOUR OPINION.

There are several different versions of CF patteen out there (as well as colored versions).

Quite frankly, I don't like the pattern version you chose. I chose what *I* like for *MY* car. You chose what *YOU* like for *YOUR* car. Just a difference in opinions man. No need to start any insulting or putting things down.

Signs (electrical, neon, lettering & vinyl) have been my thing for about 10 years now. Vinyl is nothing new to me & honestly? You'd be surprised at what is out there to be made. Shoulda gotten the air bubbles out better. Those are what gave it away as "fake CF" to me.

I can have these made IF there is potential intrest in them. I made these parts for my Silverado SS.

keep the louvers, I'll take the Silverado.

Nah.. I'll pass.. I actually like my truck

is it a single cab?

No Its a Silverado SS... They all came ECSB

Were do you buy carbon fiber vinyl ay

Any local sign shop can get it for you, but you'll pay a small mark-up for buying it from them.

Look in your local area for "sign supply" or "sign vinyl"....Something along those lines. I buy my vinyls (CF or otherwise) directly from the supply warehouse.

you can get it a decalfx.com...or metro decals on ebay,thats where i got mine.

Silverado= HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks bro!

If you make them, I'm in...I'll have a carbon upper rad mount too and whatever else you can think of LOL

Here here!

How dirty would these look in carbon? I want a set in carbon for my ride i think it would look GOOD on my silver color.

Carbon Fiber Louvers....why? Seems like it would be a great waste of money. You usually want carbon in places where you'd like to save weight. The last time I checked, louvers don't weigh too much. In regards to the fake carbon...again..why? Waste of time sitting there and cutting fake tape that looks like carbon fiber. If you'd really like to go nuts, get a carbon fiber hood...that is the way to go!

well, in most cars CF is used as an aesthetic component rather than a weight saving component. Most of the carbon parts you buy are not 100$ CF cores they are usually fiberglas corres with a CF top layer and epoxy coating. Purely aesthetic.

Structural lightweight CF components costs a lot more than these aesthetic ones.

CF looks good, better than sun burnt black plastic.

I'm willing to bet those carbon fiber hoods are fiberglass cores too.

This is exactly my point. Carbon fiber parts have become a 'cheap fad'. It is so played out...especially the fake shitt. If you are going to do CF, might as well do it right...like the Jap CF hood. Believe me, I would love to have some CF parts (fenders, doors, hood, decklid) for our cars, but they would be bloody expensive for the real stuff.

Problem with fake CF is people know it's fake (ie cheap).

Do you have any pics of the "carbon fiber" louvres on your car?

its not a louver but just inserts......but you could use the same carbon fiber material to make a whole louver.
(sorry for bad pic)

i just think that the actcent on the car, it would look great. i really just want some.



also, quick side note, mr iroc, what size are your wheels?

its in his axle/gear info, 18x8, 18x11.
