Custom Carbon Fiber work?
 
I was wondering if there're any places in lower mainland that can do custom carbon fiber work like "O-Carbon"

I've searched and no luck so far. :okay:

Anyone can recommend a reputable, quality shop please?

Thanks in advance !

O-Carbon: oCarbon - carbon fiber products

If you're looking to do CF interior trim pieces like those oCarbon ones water transfer printing/hydrographics might be a good option, you can just take off your OEM pieces and get it "dipped" carbon should be A LOT cheaper and you can guarantee OEM fit

Ebay is not an option for me when "quality" and "custom" are what i'm looking for.

Thanks a lot !
This might be another good solution !



Thanks A LOT for the input guys. :badpokerface:

Serious responses only please.
Its not like i'm asking for "which wrapping company would be the best in Vancouver for vinyl fancying my ride" or "which combination of wrapping should i do to make my whip stand out" question.

Just want some accents done with couple parts and haven't been able to find a reliable/good local company that i can leave my parts for.
I'm looking for some place in local so that i don't need ship out my parts and wait to get things done.

Not to mention that I'm not into that "3M Carbon fiber look/Fabric Wrapping" methods either.

Thanks again.

Seemed like you wanted actual carbon wrapped pieces, but you seem happy with hydrographics, which is not actual carbon fiber.

Which are you actually looking for? Or does it not matter.

I'd prefer actual carbon wrapped pieces even if i pay $ more. = )

I am using 3D-ink to dip a few pieces from underneath my hood in CF. it is 4 quite large pieces and I was quoted $200. While that may not seem like an epic deal, it is pretty inline with what some others have paid, and I really do not feel like buying a kit and trying to DIY this. I kinda just want it done.

I know of a guy that would probably be capable of doing this. Pm'd you

Yodamaster 11-25-2013 01:42 PM

A shop like 360 Fab would probably be able to pump out a few carbon fiber pieces, though it won't be cheap, no custom carbon work ever is.

Me. Ive done extensive carbon work for both interior and exterior parts both one off and real carbon wrap of oem parts.

Just bumping an old thread... Have you had your parts dipped yet? Pics?
