Hey guys, Im on some s2000 fourms and people are making some parts for the car out of carbon fiber. Parts looks great but the price is crazy high. I played with fiberglass back in the day but wasnt to good with it. Tried to teach myself but didnt go to well. Id like to get into making CF parts and was wondering if anyone here has, done this? could point me in the right direction of doing this? know a list of what materials i need and where to get them? the process which needs to take place? website or books that really helped them out? etc. I have watch some vdeos on youtube but none really went into deail. Any help would be great, thanks ---

anyone can learn fiberglass. I find it very easy to work with now but that came with practice, just as anything else would. just good some stuff and see what you come up. Learn from other peoples techniques that you see online. for example. and enclosure… [http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum\_posts.asp~TID~74519](http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~74519) there are also fiberglass forums where the guys can make just about anything out of f/g. Google is certainly your friend on this one. since no one here is being that helpful right now. EDIT - except nikuk. not sure why everyone is being a dick to this guy. He’s just asking questions. ---
