i thought about doing this last year but i felt it was too risky but it looks decent. i already set up to have my oem silver engine cover to be sent off and wrapped in real CF and keep the rest of my plastics black since they are in new condition.

I like that, did you sand them smooth before they dipped them?

^I'd be interested in knowing who you went with and how much it ran you. I'd love to do something with my silver cover as well.

I like most CF hydrographics work I've seen. I've actually been thinking about having my grill surround and fog light housings done.

im going with shadowcraft. he actually uses expensive high end clear, not like stuff you see on ebay and such. this is what makes a product last with no yellowing and keeps it much more nicer in the long run. price is 500+

here is his page. he does a lot of high end cars.
