Default How to Make a Carbon Fiber Shift Surround 370Z [DIY] (Carbon Fiber Skinning)

Hi, I recently made a video that showcases how to make a Carbon Fiber shift surround, the method that I used in the video could be applied to almost any part.

I purchased almost all of the products I used in the video from https://compositeenvisions.com/

If you would like to try to copy this method a good kit to buy would be this one

Although I did not use the exact same epoxy or vacuum bagging material in that kit, the ones in that kit are viable.

I am in no way affiliated with composite envisions I just really like there site.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I would be happy to help!

Yeah, you for sure have to be careful when you do this.

Yeah there are many different ways to make parts and this way is for sure labor-intense, I've yet to try out any prepreg!
