Yeah what Plaxton said. I will have you do my igniton or spark plug cover thing. My valve cover is powder coated gloss black, so that would look sweet.

I can't speak for Impulse but I get my from US Composites and from Fiber Glast. However they probably won't sell to you as an individual, but luckily I have a hook up on Carbon Fiber so I can get an order in when my friend does and he already has an account with USC.

Here are a couple links.

like ^ said i also get mine from uscomposites but they dont sell to individuals. i already have an account there so im all good to go.



ok folks....reach for the nearest towel here are pics of the first set sanded to **** and then with the 1st coat of clear. i used my cell for the pics so it doesn't do it any justice (they shine pretty nice). pics were took in the garage with one light bulb on the ceiling lol besides that they got 2 more coats on tonite after the pics. tomorrow it's wetsanding and polishing to bring out the real shine.
