Carbon Fiber Look without the price!!! Look Inside!

I've been doing alot of Hydro Dipping on my cars as of late. It beats the price of getting something made in carbon fiber. Anyway I have some stuff already done and for sale and can "dip" almost anything. PM me with any questions or anything you would like done.

I Have new CF patterns coming and also can do some other patterns if i get an interst.


Some examples:

Re: Carbon Fiber Look without the price!!! Look Inside!

Why are you always dumping on people's FS threads? Who cares? If the owner of the car/part likes it, what does it matter to you?

Who cares? It's a look. Why paint intakes and such if it's not original material? Lol

There''s a whole lot of difference to painting something to change it's color and to try to pawn something off as being CF

I've never tried to pawn it off as real CF. I just like the look. Its something diffrent. I'm just giving people an option to give there car a diffrent look. To each there own but you really didnt need to come in here and bash it.

I am about to order a black carbon fiber and possibly some woodgrain here in a few days.

Also for alot of pieces I can source them before hand and do then so it would be more of an exchange. All that would be needed is a deposit through paypal.

Re: Carbon Fiber Look without the price!!! Look Inside!

Give me a few days as I just started upgrading all of my materials and stuff so the quailty would be ALOT better. I'll get back to everyone soon.

Also note that its eaiser if it is something I already have or can get fairly easy as turn around is alot quicker. So interior parts real easy for me to swap out. THings like LS6 intakes I have to wait for it to get here then prep it, dip it, clear it, so those take more time for you to get back. THanks Guys!

Re: Carbon Fiber Look without the price!!! Look Inside!

There's always that one person who wants to be helpful but isn't.

I must say that I'm glad I found you, as I'm in the middle of starting to put back everything I tore apart and down 6 years ago.

I'll need the turn around times/Your shipping requirements. An example of this would be the aluminum driveshaft I just pulled so I could have it cleaned, high speed balanced and high end to. I was going to cover it in the glue back paper product and then seal it with clear tape to see it that would work.

So, what do you need from me to get this party started? Nitro-Nicky

Re: Carbon Fiber Look without the price!!! Look Inside!

Sorry guys been busy with my day job. As of now I'm limited in size unless i do it in sections which makes a sort of crease look but not to noticable. It really depends on the piece and how much prep needs to be done. I have some updated pics I'll try and post here soon.

For an idea of $ a set of CLEAN valve covers would run aroun $120.
Intake manifold you are looking at around $100 for a clean single piece intake.

Prices vary depending on if it needs to be cleaned and if there is anything extra you want done. PM me with stuff you want done.

Thanks guys.

Please contact me when you're ready to go and or have the pricing list. I'll add the fuel rails to my list with the driveshaft. Thank-You! Nitro
