I have all of the equipment for vacuum infusion and decided to take the plunge and have a go. For my first project i'm keeping it small - my car has these terrible looking plastic trim bits that are hydro-dipped with a carbon fibre pattern. so naturally I want to make them of real carbon fibre! The shape is very simple (I think makes a great first project), the only problem I'm having is coming up with a way to make the mounting tabs on the back of the piece. see photo links down below Does anyone have any suggestions please? http://i.imgur.com/GKNwBPO.png http://i.imgur.com/8vUfc8M.png http://i.imgur.com/yklwEOb.png
