After waiting for nearly nine weeks (sorry Peter) I finely got me silver C/F (it's actually aluminized fiberglass) It's has kind of billet look with a weave to it. Anyway please let me know what you think, thanks for looking.

Joe, Now you have my attention! I want to paint my car silver and have all carbon but black carbon is to high contrast... I will be very intrested in the silver carbon fiber. Are you going to offer it as an option when ordering parts such as fenders hoods running boards ect.... and is there any extra cost involved.

Thanks

Thanks everyone,

Cooter,
The silver will take 1600 degrees, the resin I use on the all my valve covers will take 425 degrees.

Vincent,
Yes this a another color I'll be offering, the cost will be the same as the others around 10% more depending on the part.

Thanks,

I knew that stuff was high temp. How about making some heater
box covers, or heat shields for the exhaust. It sounds perfect
for a fan shroud.

Is it possible to add a vent outlet?

Thanks

nice joe. coloring looks great. i will have to consider some valve covers also considering everything else i am already getting. although those would be standard.

are these for type1 engines?

will they clear pauter 1.4 billet rockers?

as Tim asked, can you make them with a breather outlet? an aluminium threaded fitting bonded into them?
