Also resin have some imperfection but for the first time don't look that bad. As u can see on last picture carbon fibre part match leather so both are same level. Under light u can see resin have lotz air bubbles any advice what i did wrong here ??? Going to do same steering wheel only will have flat bottom in carbon fibre & top with color ring on 12 Attachments 10380693_10152197179043137_9100756020468318289_o (1).jpg (298 views, 277.00 KB) Edited 11 Years Ago by CarZoneParts
