just wondering if anyone has seen a carbon glovebox.. or if there is a way to get real carbon vinyl or overlay for interior.. kinda like the super thin piece i got for my gas cover. instead of that cheapy checkered stuff..

 

you can buy carbon fiber (which is a type of fiberglass) and fiberglass over the top of your glovebox to make it look like REAL carbon fiber, and the outside will be real

 

just leave it stock, looks cleaner

 

well was going to put in an armrest in my hatch .. and was looking at the carbon ones online.. wanted something else to accent it in the interior.. plus the carbon delete i have for the airbag

 

I wouldn't waste time with the glovebox, if you really wanna set it off with some carbon try here: http://www.compositesfab.com/index.a...PROD&ProdID=28

 

Carbon fiber isn't a type of fiberglass. The carbon fiber used for stuff like this is a woven mat of graphite... it's woven like fiberglass though.

 

....and when you fiberglass you use matt......

"Can I use carbon fiber in the same process? Can I lay carbon fiber over fiberglass?

The process for laying carbon fiber and fiberglass is exactly the same. Carbon fiber is more expensive than fiberglass, but it is stronger. Most people now use carbon fiber simply for looks, so if you want to make you box look nice, i would suggest making it out of fiberglass or wood, then lay just one layer of carbon fiber on top. "

 

sounds like alot of work :P.. dunno if its worth it just for looks then

 

its hard as hell as well and the tempatures and mixing have to be JUST perfect or else it will look like crap..tried it once, it looks hella sweet if you can do it tho

check this link out of a CF box this guy made..it looks SOOOO NICE
