Modifying Carbon fiber panels or parts.
Is it safe or very difficult to modify carbon fiber panels or parts?
Non of the parts I am looking at to modify are structural parts, the are mainly body parts or interior parts or panels. For the most part I am wanting to add a few vents and or duct work to them.Last edited by MichaelLeeHearn; 12-06-2012 at 06:36 AM. Reason: spelling
Life is full of problems.
It depends on how you deal with them and move forward.
This will show others the type of person you are.
Make the best of things that are put in front of you and enjoy life.

Aerospace uses epoxy to bond composites.
Look into a good epoxy from loctite or 3M.My build thread: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthre...ing&highlight=

It is safe to modify carbon fiber parts. Use the same precautions you do with fiberglass.
