Carbon Fiber Sun Visors

Here is a video I made about the basic process for making some carbon fiber sun visors for the CSX. I think they turned out fairly well, but I would certainly like to experiment with more of them.

How much lighter are they than the OE ones? Weight redux, bro.

a thought maybe if this gets tried again

folding the cloth around a piece of plastic tubing that the shafts of the mounts can be pushed into should make mounting them easier

Cool demo. And I must say if you slow your delivery down just a touch you could have a future as some kind of announcer or voice over worker. :)

seriously! I felt his delivery was fine, I hate when its too slow and dragged out, makes me want to fast forward, this was quick enough for me and I could always rewind if I had missed something (but wasn't necessary).

cool video by the way, and nice first go at some carbon fiber stuff...

Thanks guys. It's been a long time since I've done any voice work and much longer than that since I've been paid for it. I always say I'm going to look into it again, but I never do.

That's not a bad idea at all. I actually think that I could have just removed the metal bracket and used the CF to go around the metal piece. I think there's enough flex in the resin I used to accommodate the flipping of a sun visor for a very long time.

I used to hire voice over talent when I worked in advertising, and yes, you sound great.
Might think of audio books too!!
