First CF trim piece done.
 
Few pics below. Been working on this for a while. Started out making fiberglass molds then making fiberglass/CF parts from the molds, but with my minimal equipment (no vacuum bagging system) I wasnt getting good results and it was taking forever. Now I am doing an overlay with one layer CF twill (black epoxy underneath) and several clear coats on top. I know I can polish this piece more but I have to get some more supplies first. I think it will look good when all done.
