Carbon fibre interior trim?

hi all i am new to all this stuff, but like the look of carbon fibre. i have seen on you tube loads of vids of carbon fibre dipping and have seen a diy kit, has anyone used it. the vids look really impressive. i have now just seen it on ebay aswell now. i think the the stuff looks really impressive?

If you use the search facility this has been covered before

This was posted only last night bud search will show a few results. Dipping can be tricky to get right, but Wrapping is allot easy and if your stuck get 'Dave' on here to do it as he is great at carbon wrapping.

yes mate it was me that posted it but could not find it again and did not think it had any replies but now i can see it

Dipping or WTP Water transfer printing isn't really a DIY job in my opinion but does look good if done properly.

A friend had it done on their dash and it looked pretty good, better than the fake c/f stick on kits imo

doesn't Ibara do WTP at his place?

vid doing wheels

Ibrar was in the process of setting this up last time i was there but had a

problem with the electrics on the machinery.

That was a while ago.

I shall be having some parts done by him if he's got it sorted.

he said the other day he was abandoning it and selling the kit as he couldnt get it working correctly apparently. which is a shame. something like that would be good to have arround the club.

I don't like that at all...looks cheap! Better off buying a new dash from Mr Toyota if you can get one these days!?

doesnt go right

would look better skinned i think

i dont like wrapping tho either i think that looks cheap

there is a uk website for this http://www.mydipkit.co.uk its not for everyone but looks ok

I think this is possibly okay on very small parts but for decent size pieces like dash plastics or wheels

what are you going to use to dip them in ?

If you have a big corner bath then maybe you'd get away with it

absolutley mate you would not be able to use this for a complete dash but all the bits that can be removed from the dash could be done, like air vent surrounds or the panel where the heater controls are. as for wheels unless you are driving with 13" wheels then the mahoosive supra wheels would be too big, but wing mirror covers door handle, battery covers ets could be done in this stuff

Why not Carbon Skin it yourself... Carbonmods.co.uk sell you all the stuff you need to take yoru original part and then wrap an actuall carbon layer over it which then makes it normal Carbon but with the original base. Real easy to do as well, just time consuming thats all.

Have done a few bits n pieces of skinning in the past and I'd say it was far from 'really easy to do', although I guess it depends on the shape of what you're skinning.

These are some of the mirrors I did a while back now for Dyer on here:

nicework bud

ive been wanting to try it for a long time but never got around to it

i will try a couple of things at some point, the videos at carbonmods make it look really easy but i guess it depends on the shape

Yep anyhting that has holes in it (dashboard surround) does become a bit tricky but as soon as you figure it out then it becomes a tad easier actually
