    I haven't, and wouldn't know where to start, but I talked to a guy at the Ottawa show that had a sweet F100 truck with the bed floor & pro-street wheel inserts done in carbon fiber. They looked fantastic! I went back & looked, but I took front, side & tailgate shots, but did not take the inside of the bed.

    Pat,
    Thanks for the tips!! Never thought about yellowbullet! No one around my area advertises carbon fiber work.

    Looking to possibly do chin spoiler & grill for our 3rd gen Camaro.

    There are a couple places that sell sheets of it for race car interiors. Try Bickel or Rick Jones etc they can fix you up.

    I purchased all of the CF supplies for the van here:
    Fibre Glast Developments : Carbon Fiber : Fiberglass : Resin : Kevlar : Epoxy : Polyester : Gel Coats : Fillers
    If you watch and wait they have some good sales on all of their products.
