fosach1 · 07-17-2008, 01:52 AM

sufikation · 07-17-2008, 01:55 AM

SlushboxTeggy · 07-18-2008, 04:18 AM

Bkkfarang · 07-18-2008, 04:23 AM

INJEN78 · 07-18-2008, 11:04 AM

sufikation · 07-18-2008, 12:39 PM

E_SolSi · 07-18-2008, 03:44 PM

or you could just get this and cover it with real CF
Carbon Fiber Sheet: TAP Plastics

or learn how to work with CF and make your own real parts out of this
