i've seen the "cf print" emblems, but they look like garbage, just like every other attempt at recreating the cf look...it would have to be genuine carbon fiber for sure..

CF can't be all that hard to do... maybe if I get my hands on some cf material I will try and one off something to see if I can do it.

i wasnt gonna do it i was one to inquire about it though. it was tom ritt that was gonna try. but as for hardness its not i have an uncle that doe that **** for a living. really the expensive part is the tools. main thing u need is a vacum bag to get a perfect looking product and those arent cheap specialy when wanting to make something big bc there are all diff sizes of them. ive looked into this years ago more than i felt like messing with but i do know some one from a forum who does this. hes makin me a c/f shifter piece and a sunroof....just like i wished for xmas
