Engine bay love
So I've been cleaning up the engine bay as of late. Recently picked up a carbon fiber radiator cover, not dipped! And decided to try my hands at carbon fiber skinning with my battery and brake fluid covers. Still a little more work to be perfect but they look good to me! Thought I'd share some pics

Thanks bro, I got it from a jsk racing on Alibaba, the box came packed inside a wooden crate for protection which was nice since it had a long journey. Lol Fitment was spot on perfect too. Oh, it's supposed to slide under the top part of the bumper like that. Here's a link to it if you are interested http://app.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?t...areScene=buyer

Ahhh gotcha I'm mainly trying to keep things simple and clean looking. I've got a front splitter coming Monday, side splitters and top secret style rear already sitting here. Debating on the sides and rear going on. Might end up changing my look too drastic ya know?

Is skinning using vinyl, or actual CF fabric? I've done plenty of fiberglass work in the past, always wondered if I could just drop CF fabric on a piece and toss it in the vac oven.

Actual carbon fiber. Pretty much you clean and prep your surface, put a base layer of epoxy resin down. Wait roughly 2 hrs for it to get tacky, then lay the carbon fiber down on it. Let that cure and then you pretty much repeat the resin steps with sanding inbetween to level off the high spots. There are some good tutorials on YouTube.
