hahah thats a big ol piece to do! very achievable however! you should look up the process (google carbon fibre skinning guide and theres a lexus forum and also a corvette forum which both have threads with alot of good info between them!)

i dont use the vacuum process, i just wet lay the carbon and build up various coats of resin/hardener and sand back to a smooth finish then finish off with standard car lacquer

some of those bits look nice! i've never seen the bottoms of the door cards being done before also do you havea gt3 console delete in carbon too?
