Yeah, I'm not too worried, I'm thinking maybe just leave that area in plastic and gloss black it, if you weren't magnifying glass examining it, you wouldn't even notice it wasn't CF'd. But thats just some of the specifics we'd work out when I could actually do this. One day...

Its not something youre going to tighten that that tight so I dont think it would be a problem...I'd say just go slow when tightening, should be OK.

I'll go with just Focus power... Focus RS would have too much torque...

I know right? So I was on the PW JDM site yesterday about to pull the trigger on the compartment covers and cooling plate....................and bam, I find this thread as well as many others stating that the PW JDM pieces have fitment issues. I PM's CFE about a previous inquisition and adding these items to the list of goodies.

Just wondering how tight is 'too tight' to make that without cracking the CF/resin...
