I probably still have carbon fiber slivers in me. Hate working with that stuff. Be careful cutting it. Use respiratory protection please.

The biggest problem with this is how would you show it off to your friends at cars and coffee?
Thanks!

I wear a respirator, glasses, and coveralls. I probably should wear a full face. Right now, cutting CF is not bad at all. When its 100 degrees outside? Sucks balls. I have to do it outside because you don't want that stuff getting into the house.

It's not lost of me that a big reason for putting CF parts on is to impress other guys. Which is why I don't think this would be a big seller. But hey...I'll put it out there.

It usually goes...

Facebook Muscle Guy: Oh that's awesome, can you make more?
Me: Yes, I have the mold
Facebook Muscle Guy: How much?
Me: $1000
Facebook Muscle Guy: Bruh, can you do $300?

I'd give this a very serious look if you produced a few more.
I have a mold. $1000 for a one-off part.
