Carbon Fiber Pillars?

[darkrom]

I need help looking for a few carbon fiber parts that so far I can't find at all. I am definitely looking for carbon fiber J pillars for the coupe. Lucky sedan drivers get glass....

I also want to find some carbon fiber mirrors.

Anyone find either? Overlays are fine too just not stickers!!!

[KameraBoy]

wtf is the J pillar?

[darkrom]

The stupid little triangle area by the mirror. Maybe it has another name, but this is what I was told. It will be the black cheap looking area haha.

Bump. I am really looking for any carbon fiber pieces that aren't the standards. I know where to get the hood, trunk, and diffuser and stuff. I am looking for the less common pieces. I really want as much CF as possible. I can't even find the door handles or anything. You know... the nick nacks

Thanks anyone who can help!

I've never heard of it being named a "j pillar" coupes have three pillars, A, B, and C. That triangle thing just looks like a piece of the side view mirror.

Add J to anything and it instantly sounds cooler. lol. When I saw J pillar I was expecting the word JDM to be in here somewhere.

I don't think anyone makes the "J Pillar" for our cars yet, but you can do this:

After you sand the piece and it is dull looking, you just spray on some krylon and it turns out like that? I dont see how that works? Wouldnt you need to buff it out?

Man that's amazing...I'm going to have to try that out on the mirror...I've got a spare set of mirrors that I'm goign to try that on. I wonder...could you wrap the engine head with CF?

it says to clean off the part with soap and water, then let it air dry and make sure the texture is smooth and uniform, then add the clear. its like when you wetsand paint it looks plain, then you add clear and it gets shiny

[WhiteSicivic06]

Oh ok, so even though it is a little foggy looking it'll still be really smooth from 1000 grit paper. Then you add the krylon! hmmm, I might try this

we sell the inexpensive alternative that looks pretty damn nice IMO, click the link in my sig if interested.

Blue Rocket I wanna go with real carbon fiber at this point but nice overlays!

[blue rocket]

[darkrom]

Haha I am slowly going to CF the whole car lol.

[darkrom]

So is there anyone around here at all who can do what Celcius posted? I know I sure can't but would love that on most of my parts.
