Carbon Fiber A Pillars

As of today me and a friend started to make some carbon fiber a pillers for the 7th gen coupe. Right now we are doing the left pillar and going to see the results tomorrow and finish the work. We will have to sand and add more layers of resin and then get it cleared. I will post pics tomorrow of the process but its not the finished result.

I want to know if anyone would be interested in buying some, but right now before i sale i want to make sure they come out nice cuz i dont want to send someone a crappy piece. For a purchase I would need someone to send me there stock A pillars or go buy some at a honda dealer and send them to me and I will start on them and when i am finished I will send pics and then send the rest of the payment and I will ship them out. Like i said before I want to wait to see how they turn out before selling and let you guys decide if you like it or not. I will post pics tomorrow.

Steps taken so far:
1)Bought cf material and epoxy resin and catalyst
2)A pillars
3)Sanded down pillar and drilled small holes in them so the resin can seep through
4)Applied a thick layer or resin on a pillar
5)placed cf on a pillar and saturated it
6)(right now) waiting for it to cure
7) tomorrow - sand down with 1500 grit sand paper and apply another coat of resin
8) future - sand down again and add another layer if needed.
9) future - clear coated and uv protected

Thanks
Sam

That sounds interesting... maybe eventually you could make some with the mounting for gauges.
