Haven't done any raido trim pieces yet only because my ac controls are mechanical and I thought that Might look a little weird with the space in-between cf. Guage wise I'll be making something like that for my rmt. Gas door would be easy.
Resin wise I bought it from a company online that sells it as a kit. It has uv protectant in it but I also apply 3 coats of clear just to make sure. Haven't had a problem yet with yellowing.

Ha sorry to seem like a noob. I know the 95-96 are the same and so are the 97-99 I was just asking if you knew if the exhaust cutout was the same shape. I have a 95 max but considering you have a 99 I'll have to make a mold off my buddies max. Price wise I'd say around 75

Sorry, meant to post this earlier but have been tied up.
Pics of the my CF wrapped mirrors...
Overall Im really happy with them. They look so much better then the CF covers I used to have. There are some small imperfections but its to be expected considering these are custom items and he was learning as he went with these.
I will be having more parts done thats for sure.

I'd like to get carbon fiber mirror, what I mean is not just a cover you stick with a double face tape but the real CF that would replace the original, I have a 2k1 maxima.
Edit: I didn't see the post above, so that's what I'd want for my 2k1 max.

Hey man if you want your mirrors wrapped just let me know and I can do it for you!!
Thanks for the update flava!! They look really good on the car and flow with the rest of your cf. I tried to have the weave of the cf look like it was coming into the car on each side. Those things matter to me and how the weave looks

^ May be interested. How does the CF wrap hold up against the elements? In the future, thinking of getting a lip kit wrapped. Willing to do it or are you just sticking to smaller parts for now?

i have 2 accounts and TheArtist is just one for doing projects for people. i already explained the reason for this in the thread. all pm's need to go the TheArtist about cf work.
weather wise they tend to hold up well. i use uv resin along with like 3-5 coats of automotive clear so you shouldnt really have any problems. but with any cf product the more sun it see the more probability it will yellow or dull over time
