ROFL "My New Carbon Fiber Doorpanel"

[Addissimo]

HAHAHAHA...

I need some practice.

This is my first attempt with fiberglass or carbon fiber ever, so dont be too mean.





Its really flimsy, so I'm going to try using my thicker stuff, along with a quality epoxy resin (vs this shit that i bought at schucks), and maybe bag it.

And i might take time to actually cover the whole panel in resing :)

I just thought everybody might be able to use a good laugh :-D

haha, nice "try" i guess? lets see a final product, but i even think the final product will be stupid as hell, why not make something importand instead of useless out of CF? but i guess keep at it...

[Addissimo]

i thought it'd be something easy to mold for a first time...

[Jand3rson]

Awesome, nice effort man. Don't let anyone give you shit.

[spencers]

Hey, nice try at it! Keep trying and I'm sure you'll achieve what you want.

[DanGillan]

not giving you shit at all, i think its really cool that you can even do THAT! but i think it would be easier to make something smaller if it was your first time, definately keep at it man, dont take that last post the wrong way...

[Addissimo]

haha, rocker panels probably would have been a better idea, but I figure while I'm waiting on the rest of my parts for my m50 swap, I might as well have some fun.

If anybody has fiberglass/carbon fiber experience, feel free to chime in, pointers etc. :)

Thanks

so...uhm...is this a cosmetic mod or are you looking to lose weight?

Cosmetic or not, it's still going to lose weight.

Talk about a fucking dust magnet tho. ;)

[MattE30]

How much did that cost?

[DSchultz325e]

i guess i just dont get what part this is supposed to be replacing. is this replacing the door card or is it the actual panel being replaced closing off the regulator and window motor etc etc?

[peteM3power]

Awesome effort for your first attempt! Well done! I can't to see how good it would look when you master it! Good work!

How much does it cost to get make parts like that? Equipment, materails, ect.

[rscheiring]

I applaud your efforts. If you can get them finished looking with gel coat, what would you ask for a full set of 4 (for 2 door)?
