335 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hello I have a R32 GTS-T with a FRP hood. Can you put carbon fiber onto it? It has vents.

R3N3 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You can lay a sheet of carbon over the hood yes.. Will make the bonnet thicker though.. to avoid this issue you could go a carbon fibre vinyl? check out this thread, maybe send him a pic of the bonnet and ask if it can be done??

.:: GimpS-R34 ::. Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 of course that can be done.. has been done.. but one whole sheet will not lay over the bonnet in one go.. will require a join..

ClutchBurndout-:( Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 of course that can be done.. has been done.. but one whole sheet will not lay over the bonnet in one go.. will require a join.. you can get some pretty large sheets off ebay i think, might not need a join, correct me if im wrong Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336866-putting-a-carbon-fiber-onto-a-frp-hood-can-you/#findComment-5448063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusH_ Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 you can get some pretty large sheets off ebay i think, might not need a join, correct me if im wrong pretty sure the largest you will get will be around the 1220mm wide mark in the carbon vinyl Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/336866-putting-a-carbon-fiber-onto-a-frp-hood-can-you/#findComment-5448236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles89 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well the 3M CF vinyl comes in only 1.22m, that's the longest. But I do have some Taiwan stuff at the moment, and that comes in a 1.5m roll, pretty similar stuff, but a little glossier.
