Carbon Fiber Bowtie

[RIMZ24]

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in purchasing carbon fiber bow ties for their trucks. I made the mold off of a '05 Tahoe Grille Emblem. I dont know all the years that it will fit on. This is currently the only emblem mold I have. Currently I have only made a few, as I'm trying to see what the demand looks like before I start making a lot of them, these are all hand made and they are not fastest parts to produce. These are 100% Carbon Fiber parts made from a 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon fiber and cured in a oven. They have a excellent gloss finish, but I would advise to have them clear coated as UV rays will deteriorate the carbons resin after prolonged time in the sun. The price will be around $55 each, the price seems high but again this is a hand made part. Again I am just looking to see what the market looks like and it would be a few days before I could start to send the parts out. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures I will post better pictures later.
Also if there is any other items that people may be interested in having made out of carbon let me know. I currently only use the standard black 2x2 twill carbon at the moment but I will be looking into colored hybrids.

looks good. what kind of price you looking to get? I would be interested in something more silverish

Is this a true carbon fiber part? Or the carbon fiber look alike stuff?

I think he actually uses carbon fiber to make them.

I'd be interested if the price was lowered. Currently I have an all black bowtie on my Hoe.

I think the price needs to be around $20 for the general public. You are competing with adhesive carbon-fiber-look vinyl. Looks great however!
