New c/f maker?

I was planning on asking joe to do my c/f work, and he announces he's done. Anyone know of other carbon fiber part makers?

It's not so hard to do yourself...it's just time consuming, and although expensive initially, net wise after everything is said and done, you save alot.

It's just that alot of people haven't got the moneys to just drop down for the sake of experimenting and/or learning...or just don't want to....

I found a guy out of San Diego but I think I'm getting ripped off by him.

Give Creative Car Craft a call. I talked to them a couple months ago and they were considering adding CF parts to their mix...

i beat them up pretty hard to get into it when i did a shop tour over the summer (article and pics (lotsa good ones too) coming sometime soon). stu isn't too interested into getting into new things when the current ones sell well. with enough noise from this crowd, i bet he would jump in though. everyone interested, just start emailing him or calling with your interest. you know they would do it right.

I've mentioned it to Stu quite a few times, but he says he's too old to start something new. It's too back because they would be great. CF is layed up differently than FG, and he just doesn't seem interested.

I have no problems with ordering c/f from one of the many reputable places in the UK. There are some parts I would prefer in kevlar-c/f for appearance purposes, and some for safety purposes. I don't know of anyone anywhere in the world doing that right now. Until then, I am just going to go against the GL grain a bit and keep some parts chrome.
