Dry carbon can definitely be worked on, it will not break, tear or crack. I made modifications on my rear diffuser to clear my N1 muffler.

Wet carbon? I wouldn't know.

I don't even know what the difference between wet and dry CF is (to be honest)...i'm guessing that since it has a gloss coat that it's considered to be wet...yes, no?

Mr. Francesco

just tape around the section you have to dremel. you dont want the rest of the CF to fray.

would drilling carbon be the same process? i got a cf trunk and need to put holes in it for my wing....?

Mr. Francesco

i would tape it for drilling. when you drill CF, you have to use a tungston drill bit. this bit will prevent the CF from cracking. i learned this when i had my eclipse, and i was in the market for a CF hood. Everyone their used normal drill bits for the hood pins and eventually it cracked.

BTW, are you using the mugen wing on the cf trunk? ive seen a vis cf trunk on a s2000 buckle and lose the fitment due to a wing, but that hood had an apr wing.

where would i get this drill bit? also no, i got the mastergrade trunk with the Wing brace added for strength. by the way yes i am using the mugen unless i can find someone who is willing to trade for either a mugen SS wing or other gt stlye wing.... but must be JDM

Mr. Francesco

Home Depot sells them around here. I think this bit is cupped a little, but they recomend the tungston for CF.

Your car looks great, im thinking about the mugen wing you have now, but thats down the road. i have a lot more things to buy before that.
