I am in the process of making Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers for the driver/passenger side mirrors...I have a set that will be ready to put on the car tomorrow...I will have pics tomorrow as well...I would just like some feedback on how many people might be interested in purchasing some...I can do black, aluminum, blue, red and yellow...It's going to be at least 2 weeks before I will be ready to ship any...I'm going to sell them for $120 a pair...shipped...Please leave comments...These are 100% real Kevlar/Carbon Fiber Pieces....NOT VINYL!!!!!

I actually took the pieces off the mirrors and completely covered them in the carbon fiber and resin....Trimed the edges and now I am waiting for them to set to do final trimming...But I am going to end up making a mold to make them from...It'll be easier and quicker...Some others might also be interested in a Carbon Fiber engine cover...Also in the process of making and should be ready for first display by the end of next week...They're going to cost a little more but they will also cover more engine then the stock 24 valve covers do...Complete carbon fiber engine kits will include...Engine Cover (complete stock cover with extnesions up both sides of the manifold and a Battery Cover...Should be nice...Also available in the different colors.

I can get real Blue Carbon Fiber...This is NOT the look alike stuff...The is true Kevlar/Carbon Fiber...Carbon fiber is the typical black fiber you see in your hoods and stuff...Kevlar looks the same but can come in different colors...it's the same material they use to make bullet resistant vests for police...I just put the first mirror cover on this morning and it looks great...I will have pics on here by tonight.

Thank you Doug...That is what the carbon fiber ones look like that I did for my car...I do believe though that the colored kevlar have black strands thru them as well...So the colored ones won't be the solid color...They'll have a carbon thread running thru them in a weave pattern...I haven't actually ordered any colors yet but according to the pics I have of them they look like a color/black weave...Someone PMed me about blue today so I am emailing the factory to see if I can get just some small swatches of the fabric to use as demos...Thanks Again.

I emailed the company I buy the material from and asked for some samples of their colored fabrics...Hopefully I will hear something from them today...Thursday I will be making another 3 or 4 sets of black and they'll be cleared and polished by the begging of next week and ready to ship...In other words the black ones I will have but the colored may take another week or so...Please just keep in touch with me and I will try to have these done ASAP..Thanks
