View Full Version : Carbon Fiber for do-it-yourselfers
Mach V Dan 05-11-2004, 12:07 PM We've got carbon fiber plates and sheets for all your do-it-yourself car projects.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/danhurwitz/Products/CFplate.jpg
The plates come in several thicknesses, from 0.2mm to 4mm. Cut them into shapes to make canard spoilers, gauge mounts, badges, engine dress-up bits -- whatever you can imagine!
The 0.2 mm sheets are flexible. Cut them with scissors and stick them wherever you want.
These have been VERY popular and we're now stocking more sizes and higher quantities. There is a worldwide shortage of carbon fiber, and some sizes are out of stock, but we still have a ton stock.

Real CF. (Of course!)

you'd want to lay your own cf for that

For that you'd need a pretty big piece, bigger than anything we stock.

Mr. Sedan 10-11-2005, 12:23 PM Off the wall...but how much for a sheet to do a roof?

Sorry, I don't sell any pieces that large.

YourMother'sLover 10-11-2005, 02:10 PM How much would it take to to do the splitter portion of a 22B spoiler?
Mach V Dan 10-11-2005, 03:39 PM You'd probably want to start with something like this:

I meant the top portion of the 22b wing. Sorry :devil:
Mach V Dan 10-11-2005, 05:37 PM Oh. I don't know; anyone know the dimensions of the top of that wing?

Hmm, I got the same idea he has, except for an RB5 on my RS... heh

I'll try and measure it this weekend.
scobaru 10-22-2005, 01:44 AM these look pretty cool... how flexible is flexable? 90 degree turns flexable? flexable to make into a box? with one sheet? I got a few ideas with these be it'd require a lot of bending and flexing and such.

Dan
Hmm. You probably wouldn't want to try making a box. Perhaps a 1/2" radius turn would work.

hkswrxwagon 10-29-2005, 08:19 PM Do you have any thats not flexible? I want a piece to put where the stereo goes to mount my profec E01 but I think it should be hard like a piece of ABS.
Mach V Dan 10-29-2005, 09:59 PM Do you have any thats not flexible?
Please return to post 1. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200...

hkswrxwagon 10-30-2005, 01:01 AM my bad just saw the word flexible and assumed they all were that way. How quick can you ship it out if I bought it on Monday?
Mach V Dan 10-30-2005, 10:36 PM If it's in stock, it can ship the same day. Some sizes/thicknesses are in stock. Some aren't. Call the shop after 9:30 Monday morning, and we can tell you exactly what's on hand.

firedog25 11-02-2005, 06:06 PM Any safety tips for cutting this stuff? Like maybe respiratory and eye protection being really nice ideas?

stentorian 11-07-2005, 01:28 AM What would you recommend using to cut the plates? sheets? Thanks

For the thin sheets, sharp scissors will work fine. For the plates, you'll want to use a saw. A band saw works pretty well. And as mentioned above, avoid breathing the dust. Protect your skin, eyes, and lungs.

stentorian 11-09-2005, 12:59 AM If the right bit/cutting tool was used for the thicker plates, would it be better to make precise cuts on a CNC machine? I guess that is what I was leaning more towards on my 1st question, got a hook up and they said to ask you on this. Thanks

Hey, if you have access to it, I'm sure that would work fine. You want a fairly SLOW cutting speed on carbon fiber. Don't want it to burn...
