Hope u stirred it up there. Maybe u can convice the USMC to come overthrow the South African government too. Our entire government is a bunch of corrupt morons and gangsters The main police chief is a criminal and there was a warrant for his arrest by the high court and the president had it removed coz they r friends Why? Why must I live here. Well I will be moving soon anyway

Back on topic, what would we had to do if we wanted panels to be CF? Can we plate it with CF or should the entire piece be CF?

A decent place should be able to make a mold, but if you were to do it yourself, you could just lay it over the fake stuff. Wouldn't be that hard.

$100 tops. 50 for the paint and 50 for labor.

Macco may charge less than that. I mean they paint entire cars for $189.
