Full Version: I was given a bunch of Carbon Fibre

A friend who makes RF planes was given a bunch of CF, he shared the wealth and gave me some.

I have about 0.5 square meters of both resin impregnated stuff and some other kind which has a glass fibre backing.

I have no idea what to do with it...I would love any ideas for something non-lame.

You mean for a car or just a small nifty piece like a key chain or something?
Bjorn
I dunno...just something cool...car related would be cool.

What about a toilet lid? cool.gif
Bjorn
not enough, and carbon splinters in the pregnant wife's ass would most likely lead to an immediate divorce.
dukenukem
make a carbon fiber centre console or perhaps side mirror overlays.

You could always argue "Darling, this carbon is looking sooo nice so I will automatically put the toilet lid down all by myself." tongue.gif

^I have never understood the whole "guys leave the toilet seat up" thing.

Maybe it's cuz I've always had animals, or always lived with women...but it baffles me.

I was thinking that a cool thing to do would be to make a CF piece which would cover the "Tail Gate" area of the Impreza...like a scuff plate.

TBH, me too.

To get more serious: Door panels or an engine valve cover from CF would be nice.

I wasn't thinking about something under the hood, that's brilliant!

CF Radiator shroud? Or the pulley cover?
Bjorn
I was thinkin' pulley cover...mine is pretty rough...and I should be able to make a mold for one pretty easily.

Does CF loose the ricyness if you make the part yourself?

CF is awesome. It's only rice if it's fake (although it can used on things that were rice before it was there.)

I've got a hookup for free carbon fiber, kinda.
