where do I buy carbonfiber panels?

Is there an online store that sells panels of carbon fiber? I want it already pre made not the carbon fiber fabric.

I am trying to get some real CF sheets with adhesive backing. Is that what you are looking for?

I would seriously look into doing your own. It really isnt that hard with practice(practice on fiberglass first).

Im looking for plain sheets of blank pre-made panels so I can cut out my own stuff out of it, maybe two pieces of 1 foot x 2 foot rectangle sizes will do good.

slammed95, thats the type of cf im looking for, do you sell them?

Yes the previous poster is correct it is very hard to get good panels. We specialize in cf panels. We have them in any size up to 4ftx5ft. We make our panels using all prepreg carbon cured in an autoclave. The outer plies are twill carbon and the inner plies are cross plied uni-directional carbon laid up for an outstanding strength to weight ratio. The panels weigh in at a scant 196 g per sq. ft. Our surface is nearly perfect on both sides. We don't use clear coat paint to cover up defects. They are that good! We do however have a UV resistant resin system to prevent sun damage. These panels are not wet layup like you typically see in cf parts. We sell a .055" thickness and a single ply twill made of a single layer of prepreg. The thin panel can be used with 3M adhesive tape and applied almost anywhere. It is so thin it can be cut with scissors. This is 100% carbon and not that fake carbon sticker you always see. The thicker panels can be cut with a Dremel and a diamond coated wheel. Go check out the project tech section of our website and see how we made canards and gas door plates. These panels looks really good in the sun. We have been in composites abuot 18 years and we make all of the carbon tubing for Trek bikes and next years LeMans edition Corvette Z06 hood out of carbon for GM. We know composites.
