Awesome tutorial, but like ^^^ he said, how did you cut out the piece afterwards and get a nice clean look to it? Are all your pieces a shell covering of the stock parts, or are the pillars replacements for the stock parts? Ah, I know how you could make molds though, instead of doing the fiberglass on the outside of the part, do it on the inside. Wow, I can feel my brain working this morning.

The armrest is a shell and can be removed easily, the other pieces were made as an overlay and created to be permanent.

1. How did you cut the material to get the nice clean look?
2. On the pillars, since you laid the material over a stock part the CF part will be larger than the stock part. Do they still nearly fit like a stock part?

2. those parts that are overlayed, they areny much bigger than stock. I mean it's like millimeters bigger, nothing to worry about. All my pillars fit just like stock and arent ANY bigger.
lol, just giving you suggestions for the new year. how about a carbon fibre port opening around youre exhaust so it doesnt melt the bumper? you think that would work?

Thanks for answering my questions. I really want to get into this right now, but I have other things I want before I can afford to throw $100 at a project. Keep up the good work.
