look at my new engine bay pieces.
Hey everyone I kind of discovered something new to me. One of my friends does hydro graphics. It is pretty much a print to my understanding that they bond to any plastic/metal surface with some chemical process and then they clear it. They have all types of print and his work is pretty amazing from the things I have seen. So I gave him a few of my engine pieces and he dipped them in black/gold chrome and they came out awesome. Also I was amazed in the price for everything. I am going to attach some pics and feed back is welcomed. I really like the way they came. I am not going to give the name of the place or any contact info because I feel it isn't fair to our sponsors on here since he is not one. I asked him to join the forum and become one but he said if there is big enough interest he would but doesn't want to waste the money if not since he just moved to a bigger shop and has a little more over head. So in away this is to show my nice new pieces and to Gage interest for him as if it would be something people are interested in getting done. He has all types of prints, so this isn't just a carbon fiber thing. Also be easy on the pics my camera sucks, i think it is one of the first digital cameras ever made lol.

I dunno...from what I'm seeing on the pics, it looks extremely off from regular carbon fiber threading. It would fool regular people, but not enthusiasts...and they're the ones who will point and have others point & laugh.

The parts pictured don't get especially hot though toner is running TT. Dude the work looks nice, pass along the info, if he's cheaper than wrap the sponsors on here might have a real competitor.

I like it. If it looks better than stock, it is better. Those who point and laugh usually don't do it to your face.

Hydrographics is some cool stuff. Looks great for interior pieces, so much better than any stick-on type stuff. Looks good Frank!
But why didn't you go for the pink camo? Wuss! |
