Special version of our Carbon Fibre Skinning Starter Kit™ designed to skin parts that are subjected to elevated temperatures such as engine bays and exhaust systems (within reason). The special resin system used in this kit can withstand temperatures up to 160 degrees C.
This Carbon Mods Carbon Fibre Skinning Starter Kit contains everything you need to take an original part (made from plastic, metal or any other material), cover it with genuine 2/2 twill carbon fibre and finish it to a high gloss.
Skinning a part with carbon fibre will enhance its appearance and greatly increase its strength and is a viable alternative to the more complicated approach of making an all-carbon fibre replacement part where volumes are small (such as one-offs) and cosmetic appearance, rather than weight saving, is the primary objective.

Video Guide
At Carbon Mods we have developed a very successful technique for skinning parts in carbon fibre and have produced a video guide to explain these techniques in an easy to understand way so that you can get the most out of our kit. You will find the carbon fibre skinning guide in the guides section of our website.
Uses for This Kit
Use this kit to cover a wide range of parts in and around your vehicle, or just about any other item that would look stunning with a genuine carbon fibre finish.
Use this kit to:
- Cover plastic interior mouldings and trim such as centre consoles and door handle mouldings

What results can I expect?
All the materials, supplies and techniques supplied as part of the skinning kit are completely capable of producing professional quality, saleable parts. However, like any practical task (such as repairing a scratch or dent on your car or fitting a stereo) perseverance will be required to produce parts of the highest quality. As you gain skill and experience the quality of the parts will increase and the time taken to make them will decrease.
Comprehensive Instructions
As with all Carbon Mods starter kits, the skinning kit is accompanied by comprehensive instructions that take you through the process of skinning your parts from prep all the way to polish.
