What do you guys think? It's my first interior part I have done. I wanted to make it perfect but my dad said its fine and shouldn't waste too much time on that one part because it was an experiment. Not to bad for a 16 year old :metal:

Both. I am going to do some other interior parts and maybe do it for some other people too. It's wrapped in carbon fiber but you can't even tell. It's also 100%, not that vinyl stuff.

Let me do my other panel so I can document how long it takes me, how much material I use so I can charge you appropriately. I am in the process of setting up a website with my products and services so I will post that when I am done.
I use carbon fiber that I bought locally (California made and woven) and it's 100% real, not plastic. The resin I used is high performance, high impact, and SUPER clear.
In order to wrap the piece, the switches must be removed (like in picture 1 and 2) so If you want you could take them off yourself or I could do it for you.

In order to sell things and advertise things on this site you must become a paying vendor.
Posting the results are fine and it's looking good, but once you decide to sell this stuff or offer services, you cannot advertise at all here without being a sponsor

So I can't post the service on the classified section? If I can't do it without paying then I won't post my website or promote anything.

No, sorry. That is a business venture, not a part out.
It would be the same if I powdercoated parts and posted them in the sale section. You are working as a business and selling stuff as a business venture.
FYI our vendor dues are only 50$ a month so if you decided to we are one of the cheapest charging sites.
We may allow you to gauge interest in people that want to buy stuff so you can see if paying is worth it, but if you take that interest and start selling stuff behind our backs we will be sure to ban you immediately.
I'm not trying to be an ass so please don't take it that way, but you have to understand our sponsors like Speed-Inc, realquick, eficonnection, etc etc are all paying dues in order to advertise and sell their parts here. This website is not free to maintain and most of the money goes towards server bills/maintenance and sponsoring the ltxshootout.

Thanks for clearing that up to me. I totally understand what you are saying and I wont do any business behind your back. As you said, I might post some pictures of projects that I am doing to see if there is a big enough interest for what I do and if there is I would gladly become a paying sponsor. I will let you know if and when I want to pay for the sponsorship because that is a great deal. Thank you.

Thank you. I want to have my own business and I want people to take me seriously and not think I am a joke so I need to be as mature and understand how the "grownup" world works if I want to be a part of it. I do my best :)
