It's not to expensive. Just real time consuming. Just the grill alone took about 24 hours. PM me if you like

I use S249A polyester laminating resin. The reason why is because it is a clear resin and pretty easy to work with and also it has UV agents in it to help it from yellowing. Material is from a company called Elite Motoring. They carry not only CF but kevlar material also

I have a buddy who actually ownes a CF business in UT. He did a DIY thread and I just followed from trial and error. This was the second time i overlayed the grill because the first time I did it there was lifting because my methods weren't good. But once you get it down it is fairly easy. Just time consuming like I said.
