My DIY Carbon - Kevlar Spark Plug Cover
Well, came into some carbon-kevlar for free from a friend and decided to see what I could make.
DISCLAIMER: I'm still learning. It wasn't until today that I discovered that if you use a mold, things turn out alot more detailed... So with that said, I'm gonna' make me some more stuff.
Let me know what you guys think for my first try...
Thanks!

I plan on making an actual mold next time. I made a mold of it today, layed some carbon fiber in it, but what do you know... I didn't apply enough of a release agent. So, needless to say, it didn't turn out as expected.
I'll try some more this weekend.

Did so, with about 3 layers of clear-coat.
After driving with it on for a few days, it started to develop that texture.
I should have taken some pics when it was first done... It looks like glass.
