Me too ;) especially the reinforcement of the mold for these big car parts.

C'est magnifique, j'adore le résultat avec le vernis au démoulage 👍

Hey AJ, just wanted to say thanks for all the great content and tips. I’m working on Making a custom kit for my 04 lambo gallardo. My knowledge is much better in 3D printing but have an endless amount of CF at my disposal. Working on merging the two skills with the help of your videos. Cheers!

Love the work, but if theres a video on mold making, i would love to see the process Keep up the good work

Amazing job, you have inspired me to try to do my own things...did you ever create a gauge pod?

Amazing work overall. But I'd change the title to "How I made my carbon fiber splitter lip" because it will get confusing with people expecting a tutorial, then seeing a fast-paced montage of a professional infusion layup into an already made mold... This is a showcase video of your skills.

I enjoy your videos, Great info!! Are you using a Urethane clear coat or similar? thanks

Very nice from beginning to end,

KZread is a huge learning platform. Your channel provides interesting insights into car part creation by molding/laminating. In specific the timelapse, where we can see everything you do and get a rough understanding about the effort in time and actions are very helpful. We currently plant to start creating small molds for car parts and have several main stream suppliers available where we can get the carbon fiber cloth from, but getting complete rolls is either not possible or very expensive. So the question is where do you get your clothes from?

Thanks for putting this together, AJ. Not too bad for a mustang guy. ;)

As a mustang guy, that’s about the best compliment I can get!

I see you used multiple pieces of CF due to the shape of the lip. Are you laying the CF piece overlapping or as a butt joint? Do you have a video about joint to ends together? I already seems the the V style video. I’m more interested in joint 2 ends together like at a corner and not a flat part. Interested in how to make a front lip and or diffuser that has alot of complex shapes

why you dont using pva or mould release instead using clear coat ? Thanks

Yes but how do you attach it?👍❤️🇨🇦

How much material(layers) would you say is enough to make a front lip/splitter rigid and not too flimsy? I notice you use 1 layer of 3k and 1 of 12k. Is that typical for parts like this that you make?

Can you do a video on how you make your molds for a new part?

What is the spray adhesive your using to fix the carbon cloth in place for the lay up?

Spray adhesive

hello friend please answer 🙏🏻. what is "clear coat"?

Hey AJ, been in the composites world a while although i mostly do motorcycle parts rather than car parts myself. I noticed you applied clear coat into the mould... I assume this is 2k automotive clear coat, what are the benefits to applying to the mould then laying up over top of that? I usually clear coat the parts after infusing

Smoother part, stronger mold, probably used a a release agent as well

​@@ivegonemad Not really any of those. You get a perfect finish when spraying into a mould then spraying it on afterwards. You completely remove any chance of orange peel etc. I can't spray clearcoat onto a finished part to save my life but i get a perfect finish if i spray it into the mould first. It also allows you to hide any pin hole from infusing that can be a pain to fill/finalize later with clearcoat. It could be clear gelcoat, or even something like Duratec Sunshield.

You have multiple videos of how you make the parts which is great. But could you show us how to make a mold? Myself & others would really appreciate it.

Where are you location? Wondering if you can build me carbon fiber fenders and hood for my 700+ hp GMC Syclone?

Wow... that is so fucking cool!!

Do you bond it to the blade to make it one piece?

No. If I did that and the car goes off track it would wipe it all out. Keep them seperate and you may only need just the blade. Atleast that’s the theory.

Love your videos! But would you consider using different music or at least switch them out more often? The two “songs” in your Timelapse are very annoying to listen to. Especially the second one. I might be the only one thinking this, but please consider :) other than that I very much enjoy your videos and seeing the insane results every time makes me wanna make my own molds and parts in the future too 😁
