questions where did you learn to do the fiberglass and carbon work? also do you get supplies locally or online?
I have alot of free time and need a hobby which will get my hands dirty and i will actually learn something so im curious. also i do have a full time job that pays well for supplies.

Thanks cake. I use very expensive carbon, resin and clear coat. it makes a huge difference in quality.

seriously. i had started to hate all the aftermarket cf kits. regardless whether they were vinyl or real cf molds. always looked cheap and offputting. good job restoring my faith in the cf finish

you need a shop/garage, epoxies and all sorts of other toxic chemicals and more and more equipment.

you really need to have a passion for it or its not really worth it.
Good to know. your awesome thanks.

Corbeau seat bracket issue. That they have never seen before. Yet they are asking me to take measurements of the differences in height etc... Does that make any sense to anyone if they have never seen this issue before? Wouldn't this pretty much say "the part is damaged"? I've asked them to just send me another one. But their response was "our jig might be wrong" Uhhh, didn't you just say you have never heard of this issue.....LOL. I'm about to just sell the seats and brackets and go with someone that will actually help if there was an issue.

you either pay up to the work they have actually done and make them give you an itemized list of the work done with proof products.


Or you get the court involved that they are attempting to rob you and are holding your property without justification, report them to the BBB also


They sound like a bunch of scumbags that dont want to work on the car anymore and just want to take you for all the money you have
