Default Custom Carbon Fibre parts

Hey all,

I am wondering if anyone on here can help me. I am looking for someone or some where that can make a custom carbon fibre gear surround.

My car has a shocking stainless steel one that the previous owner put on.

here it is




Sorry for the poor pic, but it is the bright part.

Can anyone on here make something simular but in carbon or can anyone point me in the direction of some where that can.

Thanks all

I think a flat bit or carbon will do it, I am not really looking to wrap what I already have.

How easy is it to cut and drill holes in carbon?

small sharp HSsteel drill bit to pilot it then larger bit to size required. tape a cross over where you are drilling with masking tape to give a rougher surface and let the drill bite. Do not press too hard.
