How to Make a Carbon Fiber Shift Surround 370Z [DIY] (Carbon Fiber Skinning)

jkoz · 04-12-2020, 04:50 PM

Hi, I recently made a video that showcases how to make a Carbon Fiber shift surround, the method that I used in the video could be applied to almost any part.

I purchased almost all of the products I used in the video from https://compositeenvisions.com/

If you would like to try to copy this method a good kit to buy would be this one

Although I did not use the exact same epoxy or vacuum bagging material in that kit, the ones in that kit are viable.

I am in no way affiliated with composite envisions I just really like there site.

Feel free to ask me any questions and I would be happy to help!

Assuming you don't make a mistake and then have to buy another car part and start all over...fun times...

Yeah there are many different ways to make parts and this way is for sure labor-intense, I've yet to try out any prepreg!
