Default Underbonnet Carbon Tubing

Would anyone be interested in some under bonnet carbon tubing?

I have been looking at photos across the range of impreza's with mods you all have, FMIC look like they take alot of tubing and would look nice in carbon but what do you think?

Hi mate, funny you should ask Ive just bought a load of kit in to have a go at doing carbon dipping. Im gonna start off with some small parts and if I get enough interest then I'll put some serious £££ into getting some professional equipment if there is a market for it

I have, thing is everyones doing it now so it wouldnt be a good business move. The dipping on the other hand, as much as I hate to deal with fake carbon, is becoming more popular and requires a bit more skill so we are going to go down that route I think
