yup she should stay as "word of mouth" and be contacted that way until she is big enough to be able to afford supporting the site.

Mays25 love what your doing and want many parts done myself but please dont get banned and think of us all as bad people cause we are not keep up the good work and hope to do business with you soon

I have looked at the vendor rules, so long as she does not start her own threads, or "pimp" herself out. There is no violation of the rules as they are written.

I think as long as she stays to answering our questions she should be fine.

What kind of designs are you able to do? I want to change the color of my interior trim, but not carbon fiber. Perhaps piano black...

Let me know! I'm willing to do the shifter trim in the STI first just as a test for everyone else as well.

Hey guys so me and another i-club member Paul Walker decided that we want to get into hydro dipping and would love to try this out and provide this service to our i-club homies! We are going to order materials tonight and get equipment to try it out and do our own pieces and post up pictures. Our plan is to provide this service to i-club members for free plus cost of material for the first 5 people and go from there. (After we feel confident in our dipping skills.) Us two and another close friend are really excited about starting this up and doing it the right way. This is just a heads up post and we dont want to get in the way of Mays25's business. Once we get things going we'll register a vendor account and post up an official thread. We can't wait to start dipping all sorts of crazy stuff!

I might want in on this. Java is planning to make me a rear diffuser and I want it dipped carbon color. I just dont want to be the experimental oops here lol. I would pay to have it done right but not so much to where I could have just bought a real carbon fiber diffuser lol.

We'll be dipping our own parts for the first week or so until we've felt like we've learned the skill and are confident enough to offer the service. Currently, the materials are ordered and I will be dipping my fender badge, side front bumper cover, and interior trim. It's a work in progress, but we're still doing our RnD and will have a thread following our entire process and work soon!

This. I have been wanting the same for a long time now and figured hydro dipping is a good option

I've done my research on this, mainly because I wanted a Cosworth style interior. Hydro dipping is primarily used for patterns and prints. The prints are translucent and the outcome depends on whatever base coat you use. As of current, I don't see any all black film available for purchase, however, there are film printers available, so I do see it possible in the near future.
