For the carbon fibre nuts out there!

I've been recently dealing with a chap in the US, who runs a carbon fibre parts making and wrapping buisness. http://www.carbonfiberwrapping.com/

 

I recently purchased a RHD carbon wiper cowl from them, which i recieved and fitted today. This was the first part from the mould, and the first in existence, as far as i know. The quality and fitment is excellent too!

 

Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180608937179

 

Fitted pics below.

 

I will be sending him a few more RHD OEM parts in the near future, which he has agreed to replicate in carbon fibre. So watch this space if you like your carbon goodies. I'll update when i know more :)

I was the one that sent my wiper cowl to them for them to take the mould from as he only made us spec ones at the time. Just waiting to fit mine and have to say are awesome quality. Personally think it transforms the look as all the standard cowls are faded now.

 

Out of interest Hoppy what else are you planning to had made in carbon?

Will be interesting to see the condition of the resin once its had some sunny days (and UV Rays) on it. Hopefully the chap has used a UV stable resin, otherwise it may go milky/cloudy over time. It does look well made though, couldnt see any air bubbles in the pics.

I painted mine gloss black and it looks the nuts now.

Just out of interest why is there a hole in it on the passenger side. Is it a universal item for wipers either side as in LHD or RHD. If you can get 1 specifically for RHD I'd be interested but I couldn't live with the hole. I know it's anal but my OCD would be on overtime.
