I finnally got the time to finish doing this, so i thought i'd post up. and sorry for the crappy phone pics







i'm REALLY happy witht he look of it, but i'm gonna touch it up again later one and get rid of some of the imperfections i made from screwing with it, lol.

also tryed some carbon fiber on a spray can. Was gonna put some on my buddies bike, but coulnt decide how to tie it in witht he rest.

That looks bad ass for sure. Is that your first time doing it? What did you use for a template for the carbon fiber?

Good job man,....it looks great!

thanks, and yea, those are my first attempts at both. The carbon fiber is just a black base, then spray some silver through that foam mat like int he bottom of a tool box. I got like 6 feet for 10 bucks i think at auto zone.

thanks man, i took your advice about soaking the bill and sprading it on, harder than it looks, lol. but i also didn't have a perfect bill, so i had to sand out the raised spots, clear again, sand, then paint and clear again. I got quite a few imperfections here and there jsut from where i was trying to get it to lay flat, but i'm gonna spray matching graphics around it, once i figute out what i want on my hood.

^^^^Yeah, it's a bitch

Looks like you got the jist of it though (trust me the first one I ever did wasn't perfect either)

you gonna pinstripe it

yep, i'm gonna throw some bright green around it, and as much as i wanna do it right now, i figured it'd be alot easier to match a graphic around it without the stripes around it, then i'll pinstripe everything at once.
