Now that's what I call a blessing in disguise. Congrats on the job man! Can't wait to see your Z when its done!

Okay I'm gonna try to post some pictures of the whole process my car is going through. For those of you that don't know, it got about 8k in hail damage and had to be repainted. I work at the body shop so I got a ton of extras thrown in at no extra cost.

I ordered a seibon hood & spoiler and also a carbon roof. We sanded down all the carbon fiber and put 3 coats of clear over it. I also removed all the 3m tape off of the roof and then panel bonded it to the car...it was a lot more flush this way and now it's permanent. We will cut and buff everything tomorrow so it'll look like glass :)

The wheels, door handles, emblem, and fang section are painted this cool gunmetal color.

We wrapped the whole roof "removed windshield and hatch and pillars" are you doing the same or are you able to do it wholes it's all still on since u got a cf roof cap??? It's gonna look sick, now I gotta get my car back together ;)

It's from option racing.. They are the only people I talked to that had it in stock. Fitment is flawless. :)
