I see a lot of cars out there that try to pull off carbon fiber, but yours is one of the only few I've seen that's done it properly. Nicely done! Your tC is sex!


By the way bro, have you named her yet???

I think if you had the lip kit painted white, your car will look a lot cleaner! I love your bride seats. Baller!

Awesome progression man. Can you still control your A/C and other things some other way now since you filled the waterfall in?

Most of it was from C12 Carbon, Eyelids were tC Sportline, and bolts where from Dressupbolts.com, they've got a titanium version which i have, and a less expensive stainless version

yea, i did, i had experience laying fiberglass, so laying the cf wasnt hard, just need the right resin, and right weave and thickness of cloth...more than anything it is mad time consuming. It requires you to lay a layer, resin wait hours for it to cure, lay a layer, resin, wait hours for it to cure, resin, cure, resin, cure, resin, cure...and at the end, spend days sanding the final product down to a nice smooth finish, and then the whole clear coating process after that.

Cool! I sure like the car, clean work. I'm thinking of picking up some cf laying kits/molding kits to play around with. You cant argue with the finished product.

Car looks great. I'm impressed by the diy carbon fiber on the waterfall, it came out awesome! Where did you buy the cloth and resin?
