Carbon Fiber / Etc.
I have a company that does alot of OEM work for Large manufactures. However I am a MB enthusiast. I have started working with car shops, wheel companies and B. Gorman who you all know and respect in the custom wheel building arena. With over a 1000 plus patterns, most important carbon fiber. The positives to this process over the ones you guys are familiar with vinyl or real carbon fiber. Is that the technology allows you to dip any item of factory which guarantees perfect fit, covers all surface area and it will not chip or peel like vinyl, and lastly the price is alot cheaper then real carbon and cheaper then even vinyl. Just some examples on the E55. all interior trim, engine covers, supercharger, valve covers, brake calipers, grills, mirrors, wheels, etc. I have included some recent work that i have done for B. Gorman on wheels, and a custom car with red carbon fiber. If you guys are interested shoot me a pm and we can talk,

Carbon Fiber
You right it does look fake, if the base coat is done with spray cans, dipped in a bathtub, and use a hair dryer instead of infrared system etc. you get my point. there is nothing like real carbon however for the cost, the look and if done properly with the right base coat and that is the key the base coat and clear coat. Not just a grey base. Alot and time and experimenting dipping parts has got me to where my company has matched real carbon almost dead on. And all the vinyl companies dont even come close to the way the finished product does come out if done right. I mainly do alot of carbon fiber dipping so thats why so much time has gone in to getting it to the point where I can say not one of my customers has ever said the words " that doesnt look real". I encourage anyone if they are able to go and buy the part or item in real carbon to do so, however if you want a excellent second choice shoot me a pm and we can talk and send some close up of the carbon work I have done.

hey have any of you guys ever heard of hydrodipping? you might want to look into it for the items u want that wouldnt really be functional.. like the interior trim, would prob cost you around 300 to hydrodip and looks 100% the same.
