abcent is selling his carbon drift wing, hes asking $450 i think, and with the boot, im not sure to be honest, but speak to a fibreglassing place and see what they can do about giving the boot a carbon fibre look boot?

can that be done? i mean giving the boot a carbon fibre look?, cause if it can, i aleady have a drift wing as it is.....

it can be done very easily. ATM there are 2 different ways that it can be done, both looks great.

1. get a fibreglassing place to lay a 2 ply layer of carbon fiber onto your boot, making sure the boot is scuffed back and clean of crap, after it cures, light sand and resin polish the boot, then hit it with 2-3 coats of clear like in a paint shop for cars, will leave the boot looking mint and also with the clear coats will give the boot that deep carbon look finish. beware tho, doing it this way, if they dont take care there can be stretch marks in the CF and will be visible once finished.

2. they have developed a contact type carbon fibre, like the stuff for school books. they use adhesive under it, lay it down and hit it with the clear again for long lasting finish. cheaper than the first but may not last long depending on how you look after your car. leaving it out at night and letting frost build up something like this will last about 5years, the other will be atleast 10yrs. CF is very tough.

and lastly mate, dont bother coating the drift wing, the curves in it will almost leave definite stretch marks in areas due to the complex shape. your better off buyin a CF drift wing like i was sayin. 450 already to go, looks good. hers the link. have a chat to him.

also the reason i suggest the straight lay on fo rthe boot is due to the simple shape the boot has. little chance of distortion.
