Love it where are you getting the cloth and what weight

The components are being done by Anderson composite. All mods are being done at MPR performance.

Two small additions that I think added the last nice touches to the interior.

A carbon fiber start button and the coin tray.

Here’s a project I’m working on making my own carbon fiber spoiler lol I will upload pictures once I finish it with resin I plan on doing my dash the hellion intake tube valve covers and other little things lol

So I have a question, what makes certain carbon fiber hoods heavy and others very light weight? For instance the tru fiber A81 is 30 lbs and the A81-RL is 17 lbs. What makes them different?

Not really sure, but I do know that a true 100% carbon fiber is 100% carbon fiber with a few material to hold it together. As for the other ones, they are fiberglass with a carbon fiber overlaid and resin. Maybe thats why? I seen a 100% carbon hood from Trufiber at AED's shop and its freaky light and thin as hack. Compared to my fiberglass carbon over laid one, the real ones are actually weight saving.

That what my assumption as well was the ones with fiberglass support for rigidity are the reason it’s heavy

Here’s the finished product

Just when I thought I was out, cf pulls me back in.

Okay so not really cf, instead its a hydrodipped plastic piece. The cf pattern leaves something to be desired and if it were going to be installed close to my real cf pieces I wouldn't install it. Being on the ceiling so high up I don't think it'll matter much.

Map light housing cover from AM by Speedform.

Installed the Ford Performance spoiler with a CF wrap (3M Black Carbon). Pumabuild, Birmingham, for supply and install; Paling and May, Southampton, for prep; and Monsterwraps, Southampton, for wrap). Very happy with results

That's an impressive wrap job keeping the cf pattern from being wavy.
