| They look well done and if its your thing they'll look good. But not for me. If its going to be CF, I'd have to have real CF. Just personal preference that tho. | |

| I like your honestly mate.....there is no replacement for CF that's for sure I've always said that, I think this effect really stands out when it's coating a part you cannot buy in CF.........how much is a set of these in carbon by the way? | |

| Not sure but there was a bloke on here or TTS (I forget) who used to make CF parts, he had a rear spoiler for sale for about £250, so I'd doubt it would cost that much to have them made. Was only layered CF tho, not formed (which is the structural stuff used for tubs etc) | |

| Cheers lads it's an option to coat your own parts instead of buying replacements prices for fog covers start from £50+ a set...... | |

| Yet again Locky you are knockin' these out of the park. If it was just plain old carbon fibre we would all be boring as feck and you wouldn't have a businesss doing carbon fibre only. I love carbon fibre and have both real & dipped on my car, including candy red lava courtesy of you bud Everyone's tastes are different coz that's what makes us individuals and all you are doing is catering for everyone's tastes. Keep up the good work! |

| Here here !!
Gives people the option of putting their own ideas into practice too .. so if they have a particular colour thats not commercially available .. it can still be achieved with a little bit of jiggery pokery and mixing colours/layers and at an affordable rate. |

| I think they look excellent and yes they may not be real carbon fibre but still they look the dogs.. Don't know what they would look like fitted but as far as the look/quality of the effect and finish I have to say I'm very imprezad | |

| The whole spoiler wouldn't dip.....only section of it mate....it's shape is wrong....so to get continuous carbon coverage would be impossible......lets say just the top blade would dip....masking a line either side and just under the lip....that part could be in carbon look and the rest the same colour as the car.....all clear coated in would good still if that makes sence? | |
