OCDetails Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I got bored and cut out a piece of thinly laminated carbon fiber and stuck it on part of my key. lol It was a slow day at work and I was bored. Anyway, I can cut out a few more if anyone is into that kind of thing. I also cut out a circle and replaced the round momo logo on my shift knob. Looks pretty good there too. Anyway, I thought I'd share. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/OCDetails/05-12-2006-055555PM.jpg _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

OCDetails Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I already tried that. I made a piece to replace that wire mesh part. I didn't like how it looked at all. For some reason I'm just not a fan of lots of carbon fiber in one place. It looks good as accents, but I can only take it in small doses. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

Plus the MOMO on the top of my shifter is scratched and this would make a nice cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCDetails Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 You could buy it on ebay. Or you could buy the carbon fiber fabric and resin and make it yourself. For my Integra I made all sorts of things out of it. License plate frame, spark plug cover, wiper cowl, emblem, etc. Just little things to just accent the car. Typically I just took things that were already black to begin with and made something out of CF to replace it with. What I did with this key piece was just run some of the fabric through a lamination thing at work that put the plastic on the top and sticky stuff on the back. Then I put a piece of paper on the back to help hold the fibers together and laminated it again. I put a piece of paper over the top so it wouldn't put two layers of the clear on the top but it would put another layer of sticky on the bottom. Then I cut it out a template traced from the key and cut out the carbon fiber. I could have used a piece of already cured material, but this was just easier and possible to do at work. I had some of the material sitting in my drawer so I figured why not...? _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .
