          CF overlay is possible, as turbo90accord has done (I hadn't seen that until now.. cool).

          A full carbon fiber bay... no. That would destroy any structural rigidity of the car, and you'd be relying on carbon fiber for your front suspension and engine mounts... Might as well make it out of paper mache. And if you don't even know how carbon fiber is made, or how parts are made out of it... then this is WAY too much for you!

          If you want to make something out of carbon fiber, start small. Make something simple.

              Some people don't know the difference between real carbon fiber and an overlay...
              I once had a guy ask me where I got the overlay for my hood (it's an authentic Fiber Images hood... shot to shit now, but it was nice at one time!)

                The overlay is the best bet. To have it real you would have to spend thousands of dollars and a lot of time. The up side is you would have a carbon fiber CB, but for the price it's just not worth it.

                  Yeah, for a real CF engine bay, you'd have to make molds of the bay sections and start from there. It could be done but it's definitely NOT worth it.

                    Carbon fiber is not easy to work with for a first timer. I suggest doing lots of research first!

                      It wouldn't be strong enough. He'd need to make a tube chassis as well... and there's no point to a CF bay if he has a tubed front end! Unless he just wants the look... but that's pretty damn extreme!

                        I want a tube chassis with carbon fiber everywhere. Want to pay for it Deev? You're rich.

                          I might have to take out a 3rd mortgage on the golden toilet to do that.
