Just wondering if anyone makes exposed weave carbon fibre rocker covers? Like the normal rocker cover shape, just made from carbon fibre. I've never seen them before and think they would look nice :)

thanks

don't start on this :)
a certain someone on here has one of a very few that seem to have been made and he loves it to pieces lol

could always ask carbon weezles if they can make one, might cost a fair wad though, but worth a try

Shorty, you talking about me? :) Yh I've got one, it has bronzey gold coloured ribs on the top too, i'll get some pictures up when I can. Apparently it's the only one in the world of this design, can't prove it myself, but never seen one before the same. Dan :)

:) thought you might have been! Getting some carbon front overriders produced at the mo (1st ever? Never seen them before) and also some carbon pickup rear bumpers. Should look pretty sweet when it's all together. Will post up some pictures when I get them back!

Not bursting my bubble atall mate! :thumbsup: I'm not worried if there's 100,000 sets, I think they're going to look awesome! Will still be something a bit different to chrome or black, especially on a pickup. Dan :P

More Carbon fibre, awesome, I love the stuff personal, exposed weave. Long way away but I'll certainly be trying to get some bumpers with overrides in CF.

Well Arc Angels are copying mine at the moment, whether they will go into production of them or not I cannot say. Just had a look at azzgranty's bumpers and overriders and wow they do look amazing! I can't wait to get mine back, Dan :thumbsup: PS, Have a look at page 3 on my project thread in my sig, there's a few pictures of the rocker cover.
