Thanks man, the woodgrain pieces were custom done, they are wrapped in real carbon fiber 2x2 weave and then resined and clearcoated, unfortunately you can't buy them like that

The cheaper option would be to wrap them with CF vinyl, but I personally am not a fan of the stuff

Theres honestly a ton of DIYs on various websites of doing your own carbon fiber. Ive done it myself, but havent done it in a while. West Systems for all your resin and hardener, and there are various websites that sell 2x2 twill in various colors. Comes out real sweet in the end.

Wow man, never knew how much your car meant to you. Makes it that much cooler IMO. Great job on keeping it so long and not losing focus on your original goal.

Would love to see you share more of it online!

Thanks man! I definitely don't work on it as much as I used to or post as many updates, but I still definitely love this car and love to keep improving it. Lately I've just been enjoying driving it again

Exactly what Chris said. Just get some CF vinyl. I used the 3M di-noc wrap for some of my interior pieces that were originally brushed aluminum that glared in my eyes like crazy when I had my top off.. Although many of those vinyl wraps you can find on ebay are cheap and claim to look like the real thing, the 3M di-noc is the only one that really does. I wouldn't really go to town with it but if you do it right it can look subtle and clean.
