If you want a replacement, Imgur works, for the most part, really well. Mobile app for it is OK too.

Paint turned out great. I would love to be able to do that myself. Good job.

Custom CF sill plate with red light.Looking at differnt ways to post.

Baronsmokes · 04-21-2018, 09:35 AM

Continue body work theme.
Roadsters do not have Factory spoiler.I liked that spoiler look.I bought one on line that was similar look to factory but different.Some work to get a factory look.I saw CF spoiler extension for factory cars.I thought it would look good to have the spoiler red and then the black CF extension.
After 4 attempts this is the spoiler extension mock up.Clean up a few spots and make mold from this.
With luck will get CF extension that looks good roadster.

I love that mines style add-on for the factory spoiler... I've been hoping one of the chinese knockoff mass producers would start copying it..but seems like all you can get on the cheap is the duckbill knockoffs.

Needs one more cut and buff.Starting assembly. Day time running lights,tailights,diffuser,door handles,badges,side blades,spoiler an extensions and wheels.Getting closer and weather is better.

Looks go so far!

You seem like one cool “old” man to me!

Like a lot of people I started buying Carbon Fiber parts.Body panels where full C F.I bought stuff from Evo R and others that where covers that went over parts.Not happy with this.I wanted to get CF parts that no one made.After spending money on this stuff I bought equipment and materials to do my own CF.Laid out about $1500 to get started.Some of early attempts did not turn out well.
Gauge pod out of the mold tonight.Will be sanded and cleared.Sill plate showing what a finished piece looks like.

One thing I found out the hard way..Carbon Fiber conducts electricity.So if you are using a CF battery cover.Take care to not make contact.
