paul , looks great !

you on a " mod " craze ?

 

[Gavin Allan]

That radio bezel looks just like the radio bezel in my 1999 Mazda B-4000 4x4 Troy Lee Edition!!!

 

[Andrew Tollison 3]

Thats looks bad @$$. My radio bezel is peeling, I was thinking about doing something like that. You should write up a project.

 

[Eric C 2]

Is this just some vinyl or do you actually have sheets of CF?

 

[Paul H]

Thanks Gary....yeah gotta get the mods done before the twins come! not to say there wont be mods done then but alot easier now.



Thanks STDrew! i would write a project but wow what a pain in the ass.

Lots of blow dryer time to mold the CF vinal and burnt finger tips.....

Ill think about a project. The other thing is i got the vinal to curve on some places

but on others i had to cut and match. We will see.



Sintec...its CF Vinal the same i wrapped my cold air intake in and window/lock controls in.

Paul - step back away from the trac ! I hope your wife does not sit still for too long or you will carbon fiber her : ) It's fun watching what you and Todd are up to.

Looks good Paul. I do like the wrap on the air intake too._Ron

 

[Paul H]

ScoTt...LOL LOL LOL:lol::lol::lol::lol: she works nights. she is the one who suggested i do this. i had the window/lock plastics painted white with black decal stickers for an old school look and liked it at first but it started to bother me. so i changed it and had enough to do the radio bezel. plus the knobs were white also didnt like that so i painted black and pinstriped with silver.

Thanks Ron.....that bend was a lot of fun to do on the intake one to hold the tube and stretch the vinal and the other to hold the blow dryer...also burning Todds fingers
