From: Fox made a TV show about it

I'm dying to see how the final product looks. What kind of CF did you use? I want to do this sooooo bad for my coupe. I'm sick of the blah silver handles and center console.

Also, are you using a polyester resin on the CF? I always thought epoxy resins were used

I dont know how epoxy works..but polyester works for as long as you dont add wax additive to it, you can always add on top of it even a year later.
