i was looking into doing yourself/laying carbon fiber and i came up with some useful sites you might be interested in.

i was interested in doing the cover over the valve cover in carbon fiber.

I remember seeing a site that will lay CF over pretty much anything. I'll have to find the link again.

Just bought a yard of Carbon Fiber cloth and super glossy epoxy.
Time to play. maybe even play with projector lights

1max2nv: any luck trying to learn?

 

It takes forever for me to implement any new ideas.

 

if you need supplies i would check out this place

like ****? hehe, joking.....

 

I got some Carbon Fiber vinyl from Shadow.. it's really thin and looks like carbon fiber, only it doesn't have that 3 dimensional look.. but this stuff is great.. first i put it on my center console, looked pretty good.. then i stuck some on my door handles because i wanted to get rid of the chrome and didn't want to paint them. It's been over 6 months it has been on my car and it isn't even showing signs of coming off... this thing is on the exterior, it's been through the winter and car washes.. holding like glue... i don't think it will be able to sustain the temperature of the engine bay though, if you want to accent your manifold or other parts.... but it may.. it's cheap.. you guys can give it a try.

 

It was about 100 with the resin stuff. Just got a small sheet to play with. Then I'll build a Carbon Maxima body. Any one interested in a groupdeal? Hehehe

 

Is it 1 Yard by 50" then? im gonna try to make some feels style aero mirrors etc. Itll be fun

 

Yup
