Carbon fiber body kit for Slate Truck

[KevinRS]

The company still exists, so it's only a matter of time until you'll be able to absolutely cover a Slate in the ugliest stick-on chrome accessories you've ever seen.

I looked it up, doesn't seem to be anything like it used to be. Much of their page ends up at carparts.com

Likely a lot, but i plan on doing it for myself either way. Hopefully people are interested though

Impressive, you must have access to a large scale composite shop with huge industrial presses, autoclaves, and walk in ovens. And dust collectors with explosion proof motors. I’m sure you are aware that Carbon fiber dust is highly conductive and when sucked into electrical devices, especially PCs with fans, monitors, and lighting fixtures, it will destroy them. Yea, I’ve been there. Best of luck!

The main reason I'm cheering for the Slate is the idea of getting it into the hands of creative young people. I think it will be endlessly entertaining to see what they do with it.

Our roads could use something more entertaining than an endless succession of CUV/SUV jellybeans in shades of gray and white.

This is part of my goal, make things unique again

While i do have access to some of that stuff at work, the majority of it is not needed for a simple fiberglass mold then a resin infused carbon part off of that mold

Here’s a vid showing what a quality carbon fiber wrap could look like.

Thanks for posting this. Now I’m certain that I’ll be hiring a professional to wrap my Slate.

Not me. I’m going for it. Not in Carbon Fiber though.

Should lose more than $800.00 trying it.

A carbon fiber wrap is going to be harder to wrap right so it looks good, and even that thumbnail shot of the hood shows some of the detail on other vehicles that make it difficult, those multiple curves in the hood for example.
Slate should be much easier.
