You can take me off the list melon. Its cheaper to DIP and get the same look. Keep up the good work though!

thanks! yea u could dip this for less. its also a lot less work to dip it. and ur paying a company to do it that already has the set up to do it. we r not a company and r doin this out of our garage. footing the bill ourselves. yes its not the cheapest mod but its not done cheaply either. its true carbon fiber not a picture. and ur paying for something unique and not mass produced. if anyone else can pick up all the supplies and do it cheaper than let me know. list has been updated!

bump! changed price to 250 regardless of how many buyers. have a new epoxy that lets us do 1/2 the layers of the other epoxy so should cut down on time needed to pump out the sets

dipping is great for certain things such as camo pieces on atvs ( I think american chopper dipped fenders on their bikes once ) or guns are usually dipped when people add graphics or designs, but my friend had dipped mirrors on his car and he showed me and honestly it looked like hell against his cf hood. just my 02.

Thanx for the information! And I think our price is more than fair for wut were doin. We have to trim out the radio bezel which isn't easy and if u have heated seats like I do then that's more trimming. Oh well, those that drop out, only makes those who purchase it more exclusive

I think your pricing is more than fair for the amount of work involved

No not yet. Stil awaiting clear coat. Gotta order it up today or tomorrow. Its an expensive clear that's a 1 time use so were waiting til we have the other sets done so were not wasting a whole thing of clear on 1 set of trim

Yes I made a mistake with the mirror caps. We will b clear coating those as well. Just got word today that new, thicker epoxy is shipped and due to arrive on the 2nd. So will b back up and running then. For now kinda on hold waiting for that. Then we will have 3 sets to clear and b able to maximize the clear coat

Glad to see you went with a 2k clear. It will give them a great gloss as well as protect them from the uv.
