I've finally gotten a mold made for my bmw e30 racecar trunk/boot and I am starting to plan out the layers of materials so I can infuse the part.

Are there any general recommendations on how many layers and core material to use? This will be basically just a skin part (I won't be making the inner structure like was done in that mini cooper bonnet video from easy composites) that will be pinned to the car. Obviously the car is only for track use so lightweight is the goal, without being to flimsy.

Thanks for your help!

As always, great information, and wonderful help.

Im trying to secure some Rohacell foam core now, and looking at prices it may be less expensive for me to buy it from Easy Composites and have it shipped state side than to buy it from any supplier in the states!

Thanks again everyone, hopefully Ill have the core soon and can start the infusion!
