About the costs, I suppose you are starting with composites materials so you dont have anything at the moment? the problem is you'll need to buy everything the kg.
you'll need:

Moulds
releasagent
gelcoat
fiberglass
brusshes 
cups 
gloves

Parts
Carbonfiber
Epoxy
vacuumbagging supply
vacuumpump



Cost will go up quite quickly to get started, but its something worth doing! you might encounter some problems here and there along the road, but once you made those wing mirror covers you'll just want to make more stuff BigGrin

Thanks for the welcome, it's a very interesting site to learn from. Looking to start off with a small project and so thinking of making carbon fibre wing mirror cover for my type r gt civic, what do you think the cost would be too make two off and the best way to make the moulds.
