Went the Cruisi'n the coast yeasterday. (only seen 1 Porsche) 928. Anyway really nice cars all over the place. I absolutely fell in love with this 55 Thunderbird with a 5.8L modular truck motor. the valve coves and a few other parts were covered in Carbon fiber.

He said that it is real sheets of CF material that was bonded to the parts in a vaccuum bag.
How difficult is this? Man it sure was cool. completely cosmetic I know.

Pics are in the camera will be developed soon.

I made this door panel from 5.7oz carbon fiber cloth with epoxy resin. It is just a flat part, pretty easy to make.

Never tried to vaccum bag. I think it would be kind of tricky until you got the hang of it. It is easy to get air gaps and voids in the resin.

This guy makes a lot of parts like you have in mind:

Depending on the shape of the part, you may not need to "bag it". Flat pieces are easy.
