Hey, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make a carbon fiber air intake for a car using braided carbon fiber sleeve. I need to know what the best type of resin would be for it, it needs to be both durable and have a nice finish. It doesn't need to be extreme hear resistant. 

Thanks, 

Dustin

I have looked into doing this before, the best idea I came up with was to make 2 moulds, to make the tube shape, then an inflatable bladder on the inside.
