I might also be adding CCFL rings, but I'm still experimenting right now. I have started working on a set of headlights right now, but that will take longer due to an LED strip I am adding ala Audi and trying to figure out how much of it I am going to wrap in cf. My tails took about 2 days, no resin, no sanding, and with the RA's, no painting.
how can you make CF with no resin? did you use cf vinyl or something?

Either fake (vinyl or "cloth") or he has the means of using dry carbon which has resin already in it (can't do wet or dry carbon fiber without resin as you probably already know)

I'm done with the cf, but not the LED's. I'm not going to post until I am 100% complete. Got some things I need to work out with the resistors.

So you can vacuum bag and heat to 300-350? You have the means to do dry cf wrapping??? I'm genuinely impressed if that's the case.
