Carbon fiber shift knob.....

[s4twin]

pretty happy with this little project, total time was about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.



2 layers of carbon fiber fabric


this one is just epoxy/resin after sanding down to 300grit...pretty smooth already


about 5 layers of clear coat



final look





next project after I order some more carbon fiber fabric...eventually I'll do the door handles

How much to do one for me? I have a spare knob so there would be no rush.

I love it since it's real CF and not fake hydrodip crap. Id love one but i been enjoying my pistol grip from Jegs.

Sorry bro... I do this just for fun. Plus I don't think the quality is that good to offer a service.
