Default Anybody ever seen a cossie carbon fibre rocker cover?

Has anybody ever seen a company that makes carbon fibre cosworth rocker covers? I have seen one once but did not know where to get them from!

Sean Bicknell 'thought' he did

Dunno mate, there'd be a hell of a lot of work involved, and I doubt many would pay for what it'd cost......(to do it properly)

www.creativecarbon.com (Marcus referred to above - top notch work, might be worth a chat if you really want one)

Fastmaul.

Hows the weather in NYC.

F--king Wet and Raining in Alaska. Plus we had the earth quake last night.

Didn't bother me as I was at sea on the boat. No damage to anything really, just a few more landslides here and there.

Yep, that's my picture

I'm pretty sure that it is genuine CF and NOT some sort of 'overlay'

However....I guess I could see if I can get another trip set up to go see the doc to make sure

Matt, I blew up the picture and looked a the weave pattern, now look at the cover to the left. They look different. the Ford Logo looks Very hard to duplicate in Carbon fiber! I used to have a website bookmarked that did stuff like that (overlay and vacum seal parts to look like genuine CF!) I would like to know if it's real CF though
