Holy crap I just found some incredible stuff. Carbon Kevlar, which I bought a full yard of

Also trying a Carbon Zylon Sample which is the 'new thing' in Carbon like Composites, looks like it'll turn out gorgeous.

So I'm happy with these wild new discoveries, and I am completely donkey-kicked in the a$$.

I just hit the floor for this stuff, It's insanely expensive, but I want it. I am paying for samples of each of the following colours, and will have to make a decision. I'll probably be using this stuff for super small accents and engine bay. I have a specific plan in mind for one Piece, but I'll keep that under wraps for now

Me too man, I need to get them in hand before I commit. I've always had copper/bronze in mind for my accents on this car so I nearly crapped myself when I saw that.

Oh, on the topic, my A-Pillar is almost done. Just needs light wetsand, clearcoat, and Polish to get the bish glistening.

I'm pretty damn proud of this, it's almost flawless, my first piece

^ Looks good I was thinking of getting some clear resin & doing this a long time ago for other stuff. How are you doing the tabs that click into place?

The tabs are on the back-side, I didn't change anything there.

Thanks for the kind words

Done. Not sure I like it, but it turned out smooth. I'm going to let the 'look' stew with me before doing anything else.
