Where do you buy your carbon fiber? Some place local or online somewhere?

I purchase most of the CF from a local dealer since I would rather help the little guys out even if its a few pennies more.

Here you go! The black CF one is finished, It just needs to be wetsanded, buffed and polished ( Thatl be done tomorrow) The red one for Bitoy will also be finished tomorrow, I just have to wet sand that, give it the black boarders, and then clear coat that one.

Tomorrow lll be starting 2 more garnishes in CF, then 2 more the following day. So everybody start placing your orders! I have a few already from a week or 2 ago so I have to take care of those first but get in line while you can. The price will be going up soon since other companeis charge near 50% more then I do. And the companies that chare my price or less dont put half as much work into these. Like I said Id never send something out that I wouldnt accept myself. Enough chat and here are the pics!

Keep in mind! The red one looks bubbly and curvy because I slapped on a thick coat of the resin. The resin I usually sand it with 180 grit paper, then 220, 320, 400, then put on another coat but the red one is on its last coat. So all that sanding gets it as smooth as ice. Then the clear coat will make it look as good as the black one.

I am waiting to see the GE garnish too. Just to clarify, can these be made without rear wiper delete?

i think you might be thinking that because the raised up wiper spot doesn't have a hole in it you think it's the delete panel, but you'd be wrong - one must drill the hole for the wiper to be installed ! the garnish WITH THE WIPER DELETED HAS NO MORE "wiper" HUMP so the ones above are for keeping the wiper it just needs to be drilled out
i recieved two panels for my GD one that was completely smooth = no wiper hump and no emblem hump / and one with a wiper hump (not drilled) and no emblem hump

I can drill the wiper hole upon request. And I can do an entire hood but that would cost about 500 dollars. It would be better to purchasee an aftermarket carbon fiber hood.
