yeah, I've done fiberglass. If, your talking straight forward modeling no. I did most of this stuff for a friend for car interior pieces he wanted to blend his audio and illumination pieces with his cars interior. I think I might try resin modeling my self if I start buying tools. as far as most large fiber glass and wet carbon fiber go you basically just make a styrofoam molds you drape the carbon fiber sheet over it and apply resin in the right amount. Wet carbon fiber is just like fiber glass.

If you want to try wet carbon fiber or fiberglass there is like a million tutorials on the internet but you will learn how to fine tune it when you try for yourself. by far the hardest part is trying to gauge when to cut it, if you let the resin cure to much you won't be able to, and if you cut to early it will fray it's the same for fiberglass.

I saw a special on carbon fiber the other day.They had sheets of it and layered the material in a mold and then heated it and vaccum formed it.It was super cool.

Yeah, that would be "Dry" carbon fiber. I wish I could do that I would have to do every panel on my car!

Oh and about the hwole wet and dry carbon thing. Its not just ricers, YEah carbon has got that ricer thing to it. most ricers use that CF vinal crap. But if people can fork the money for real carbon fiber its usually for a racing reasion. Most people just use the excuse that its cool looking.

Where as carbon fiber was origionally used for race cars, I would love if some company would make carbon fiber parts for the 91-96 escort gts. At least a hood, if you do find one its gonna be worth more than what it should be and will be ugly.

Plain looking carbon fiber body pannels for the win.
