Did you remove the old roof skin? Or was the CF laid direct on the old roof?

Oh man the CF vinyl wrap looks awesome. I agree with wanting something that really looks like it pops and by your pictures it looks like you've achieved that.

Looks good. I'm sure that the pictures don't do it justice.

You have a sweet ride man. Do you do a 'detail regiment' to get that red to pop as much as it does? Again, all the mods are very tasteful and really add to the look of the car - congrats.

I’m sorry for the lack of clarity regarding my post. This is a Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap applied to the original roof panel of my car. I can see after re-reading my post why that wasn’t clear.

Thank you, it really does look great and has a lot of depth that makes it appear as a real carbon fiber roof.

Thank you, very happy with it. Pictures don’t do any car justice unfortunately.

Thank you I’ve put a lot of time and money into it but really enjoy it. As far as detailing I use Griots Garage products. In the spring I always wash, clay, then wax. I hand wash only and usually do another coat of wax mid driving season. This is not my daily driver so I’m able to keep it extremely clean and ready to go anytime I want to join a car meet or just hit some back roads.

Had a professional photo shoot today, here’s a teaser!

Created an Album for my photo shoot, love the way these turned out, especially the rollers. The kid who did this shoot for me is 16 and pretty talented, if your in the Indianapolis area you should get in touch with him!

This has definitely been one of the cooler build threads to follow.

Would you please provide a link to the aluminum extension used in conjunction with your shift set up?

I’m sorry but I’m not sure where the extension itself originated. I bought it from a forum member in conjunction with the Moddiction shift knob. After I installed the B&M short throw shifter I started playing with multiple extension/knob setups and was minutes away from pulling the trigger on a coolerworx shifter but happened to see this setup come through the classifieds section and figured what the heck. I love it and it really helped me improve my 1 to 2 shift under hard acceleration.
