purists need not apply, carbon fiber bits Options

[mrbubblehead]

i have a cherry rain catcher here in my garage. the one that goes under the engine deck lid.....and i was thinking about fabbing up a mold and producing a few out of carbon fiber. if i take the time to make the mold, would any of you guys be interested in one? they will have an A+ finish on them and be super light. i run a gt decklid, so im thinking of altering a mold to work on the gt decklid if i can do it and still maintain cooling and airflow.

i just finished up a mold for a set of rain hats for my idf 40 webers. 6 cylinder rain hats are also doable.....

they have an assortment of carbon weaves with different pattern. they also have hybrid carbon/kevlar weaves that have color.....black/red, black/blue, black/yellow, black/green, and so on.

let me know so i know how beefy to make my molds...

Not my car (I wish!). That's the notorious 914 RS that my good friend Joe O'Brien made (you can just see him in the driver's seat). He did the RS himself, in his typical fashion (i.e. over the top, and perfect), but the decks came from Getty Design, I think. His handle here is Series9. He's making my 914 3.2L monster in FL right now. I will have CF bumpers as well, over Phoenix Red and black.

You'd have to ask him about the sun damage, if any. All polymers will break down when exposed to radiation, in particular UV (such as the 'normal' kind we get from the sun), but I don't know how much that's been affecting his car. I'd imagine some garage time and/or car covers would help in its longevity.
