Yeah bro, you're right about that. But I have plans on getting a kick a** sound system. 3 12's and possibly a 15 inch monitor! I had the CF trunk on my accord before and it rattled like crazi. So, overlay would be ok..

BTW I'll give you guys the contact number......

I don't think a LOT of weight!! Just think of painting your car with 3 or 4 more coats in it!

get the 2x2 twill

you will need the polyester resin, the surface agent, the MEKP, the pigment and such.

what do you do , wait for it to dry up a bit roll it then sand it down ? I have never worked with carbon before just fiberglass and bondo. I seen that epoxy has alot of little air bubbles in the mixture, how do you avoid those ?
