i was looking for some carbon fiber interior trim for my car on ebay, but Because my car is rhd its very hard to find carbon fiber interior trim for my car. then i found carbonmods.com on web watched their demo video decided to do it myself. i ordered carbonmods carbonfiber skinning starter kit.
it takes some to learn tips and neeeds patience. one part takes 3 days to finish. some parts i did 2-3 times because i made mistekes. but finally i finished all parts perfectly.
here is some photos when processing..
here are finished photos...
carbon grils and spiltters are from ebay
