Default Carbon Fiber sneak peak

A little sneak preview of what is going in my srt6, I cut/applied carbon fiber cloth to my 8mp cell phone yesterday. I wanted to practice and make sure I could still handle small edges properly since it has been a little while since I had worked with this stuff. It turned out pretty nice, especially considering I did it half @ssed in my office during my morning break and lunch without my proper tools lol. I have done this for people in the past for their interior and engine bay and they were very pleased with the quality. For the most part I am just too busy to spend the time on things like this that I enjoy

I plan to do several items in my engine bay and possibly some interior items as well. Sorry for the crappy photos, these were taken on my kitchen counter wtih my
little pop up camera flash and the phone is straight out of my pocket and a little dusty lol. As you can see I was able to get the corners well and to accurately cut out the small areas for the flash, speakers and even the tiny hole for the mic. The photos do not do the phone justice, this thing looks great especially outdoors in the sunlight where it really shows off the details.

This is one of 3 mods going on the car this winter/spring. The other two are performance mods (one performance mod is nearly complete)

That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Why would anyone in their right mind wrap something in fake carbon fiber fabric. LOL Just kidding. Somebody has to give you a hard time. Looks pretty good considering all the small radii.

That phone should be a welcome addition to Batman's utility belt.

Good job on the application though.
