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......

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 ?
