Eh. They're cool, but not 300 cool. Can probably make a set in my garage for maybe 39 bucks in material.

I've made some carbon parts for other things, and it's not difficult to make a mold, particularly foe a piece that's mostly flat. The hard part is getting an even coat of clear on it and not distorting the weave.

Not saying it doesn't take practice and proper equipment, but the markup on carbon parts in this segment is insane.

Gotcha, let us know how the fit once you install them. I'm curious about the process

You can buy a case of water from Costco and safely sell the contents on the side of the road at a 2000% profit without anyone batting an eye. Capitalism provides opportunity in all shapes and sizes.

McPurrs · 09-03-2019, 11:17 AM

I would be interested if they fit better than they look like they do

Infamus · 09-03-2019, 11:48 AM

The quality of the CF looks great...

nioh_lbbm2 · 09-03-2019, 04:07 PM

Just realized I have a pretty large (imo) paint chip on the passenger side that would be covered by these covers. Def would be in if it fit better
