More Carbon Fiber....

I just wanted to share a quick picture of some new pieces I was able to install this weekend. Not a great picture but you get the idea.

I installed new side vents in CF as well as the 3 horizontal strips that run across the dashboard. BTW, it's a tough job to remove and replace those strips. The vents are a piece of cake.

Have any of you guys seen a process called water transfer printing? It is amazing. I mention it because one of the effects they can produce is carbon fiber and it looks great.

I've seen that before, but I wonder how good it looks in person

zackwatt,

Thanks for the compliments. I sent you a PM.

Grizzly,

Thanks for posting this. I've never heard of the water transfer printing process. Have you seen any printed parts in person?

I have a couple of parts that I bought 6 months or so ago in CF that arrived looking terrible. I actually disputed the transaction and received a refund because the condition of the parts were misrepresented. The seller didn't want to pay to have the parts shipped back to Europe and told me to keep them. They look too bad to put on the car so I've just been sitting on them. I think I will contact one of these printers and see if they can do anything with them. They will be the only non-Porsche CF I have so far, but I don't care if they look decent. I will let you all know how they turn out.

Thanks,

ddb
