Hi All, new to the forum here
I have only ever made small parts in carbon before but am thinking about making a bonnet. One quick question, is it worth shelling out for a vacuum infusion setup, or can I just lay carbon with a brush as normal? Are the results really that much better?

Is this also the way to go to make spoilers?
I have finally got my workshop ready to start making parts and want to make bonnets and spoilers, but am open to making pretty much anything recommended to get my skills up to standard.
I am having difficulty getting my head around how to mould a supra style spoiler though, I don't want to make 2 halves that split over time with air/wind force.
