My 2008 Prius carbon fiber grill

That actually looks really nice. Is it a cover for the existing part or a replacement piece?

 

Looks good, esp on your color Prius.

 

Does it increase the MPG?



I kid. It looks nice.

 

if only they had carbon fiber toyota, hybrid, prius and hsd emblems.

 

Nice. Where did you get them and how much?
I see some stores has the plastic 'sticker' sheets than can be overlay on any parts that gives the look of carbon fiber, but not sure if they will look nice on un-even surfaces.

 

I really like it too; would look good on my Tidelands '05. How much? Where did you get it?

 

Very Nice!

 

Kudos. Where did you obtain the overlay from?

 

Looks sweet! You just gave me an idea. Maybe I'll do my boot spoiler, mirror caps and door handles too! Where did you purchase the CF?

 

Uh, he's not saying. Would like to know as well.

 

I have a catalog from Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber - Fibre Glast Developments Corp. and they have everything you would need to make carbon fiber stuff.

 

you can find CF on ebay , just search for carbon fiber cloth. then pick up some resin, and go to work. making an overlay isn't that difficult, it's 3 basic steps- 1- cut the cloth and use resin to lay it in place, smoothing it down. 2- layer more resin, until you have a decently thick layer 3- sand smooth and use some clearcoat to bring back the shine.

yeha a bit more detailed than that, but that's the basics

 

wow nice... and I could've sworn I just saw a prius with a CF hood drive by my office in Burbank earlier

 

So that's just CF-like sticker sheet to cover the original Chrome trim piece?
Maybe it's more dramatic to overlay the whole hood with CF sheet instead.

 

The CF grille looks really cool man! I bet it would be really awesome if someone could come up with a carbon fiber hood for our beloved Prius. Just an idea.
