Special Project: Carbon Fiber Wald Side
****UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 2****
IM ALSO CAVED AND BOUGHT THE WALD REAR, SO I AM ALSO GOING TO WRAP THE CENTER SECTION OF THE LIP IN CARBON FIBER, ILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED ON PROGRESS!!
Alright, so I decided NOT to go ***** out with the carbon fiber on my car. I was originally going to go with the Seibon sides or Element 114 but I decided to go a different route. I ordered the Wald sides today(not replica
). I am going to do something a little different though....I am going to take the center section of the side and make a mold and then wrap the mold with carbon fiber and trim it down....clear it...wet sand...yadda yadda...etc.. So the whole center section of the wald sides will be carbon fiber. I will also be doing all the work myself, I do composites for a living so should be a fairly easy project for me! I'm going to dedicate this thread to the project. I'll keep everyone posted on the process and post pics as I go, should start everything as soon as I get my stuff within the next week.
