Carbon Fiber

[BiGMaC]

Yes it was a hydrodip and SW had a horrible experience with them.

Actually that wasn't my guy...
I never used him to sell anything to you guys, I found a different guy who did good work BUT wouldn't get the SHO cover, he just wanted to use the regular one without the SHO emblem.

Thanks Mike... I stand corrected.

That's probably because to get a good carbon fiber weave design you're going to need to get rid of any non-flat surfaces or sharp edges, it's the same with this genuine carbon fiber cover. It does leave options for custom final lettering that can be applied and cleared over though.

Such a tease   Just remember we expect 3 products:  intake, exhaust, and engine cover!  So you have to re-arrange your priorities

Lol I try . Unfortunately no exhaust, the intake has been redesigned (again) for the final time (hopefully) and is just a matter of getting one of the components manufactured in larger numbers.

Concerning the carbon fiber, along with the engine cover I plan to make a battery cover and also am looking to do some interior pieces as well. Here's another update on the engine cover:

Any updates on this?  Anxious to see the engine cover with the clear coat .... And installed.

It needs a couple more coats of resin and then clear but it's coming out nice

Just started clearing the cover, needs a couple stages of wet sanding and clear then buffing to a polish.

Looking super!  When you've got it done so you have a time estimate let me know when you want to start on mine! .... Seriously.

 

[SHOdded]

Can't wait to see the finished product, coming along very nicely!

Looks real good and keep us updated and might be interested in a couple pieces,any sample piece for the battery cover?.

Lol! I got you covered Tom!

First step is to create a battery cover, anyone have any designs concepts in mind or currently have a battery cover to show off?

So as a first attempt I'm satisfied with the cover. I really underestimated the amount of work involved though as it took 3 weeks start to finish with all the coats and sanding. Pic below with a sneak peak of the MDesign Carbon Cold Air Intake.

Looks Wowza!  Looking forward to production availability for a hungry market

Production of the engine cover might be limited, though the cold air intake is going to be available for pre-order in the coming week.

Would like to ask more questions but I bet there's a thread in the making?

Dyno pulls?

A thread will be made in the next couple of days, I just received the final piece from the manufacture and it looks great. Only change to the intake pic above is that the chrome piece will be made out of carbon fiber as well.
