Hmmm, that and they make a specific model for the AT carrier may push me over the edge to just getting the Cusco (I was already on the fence). That means I don't have to go shop for a new MT housing, I can just buy LSD + gears (+bearings, + oil seals?) and swap it out in my existing pumpkin.

Weekend Update !
It was a very slow week and weekend, I guess I was a bit tired of working on the car the week before in the cold from -20 to +3 Celsius and almost 8 to 12 hours a day (with break time of course) For the skeptic here we go with the main part of the rear right quarter panel. It weight in at 2 lbs 14.5 oz. Almost done! Some trimming left and then a final epoxy coating + clear coat.

Be careful there is Porn being posted down below !!
yeah you read correctly,,, its some cloth Carbon Fiber Porn !!! I hope you like it  There is; - two 3k 2x2 Twill cloth - one 12k plain T700 - one 12k biaxial 45-45deg T700   It took about an hour to do a paper fender template to cut all of the CF layer needed for the job. Then another 3 hours of hand lay up with a slow hardener... I should have bought a fast one on my last order

I wish I had the skills, time, money, and motivation to do this. Somebody is gonna be a lucky f*ck when you decide to sell it to move onto something else.

 on a more serious note. The left quarter panel has been started a last Monday & Tuesday if I remember correctly but I haven't touched it since then because I started making CF panel and parts for this Aero Project. I got to order more !!! yup again ;/ unfinished parts...

How thick are you making these parts? I want to make some canards and on ebay for a 12x48" panel I see 1.5mm, 2.6mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm. I'm thinking 2.6mm should be what apr uses and strong enough.

the rear bumper skin is a 3 layer and some reinforcement at the sharp edge. its very close to 1/16 *very flexible* the front side large panel are 4 layers of (7oz / 9oz / 12oz/ 9oz ) which give about 1/8'' * haven't measured* *quite strong panel* the rear large quarter panels are made with the same layer as the front side panel ( 4 layers ) the rear lower winglets are 3 layer ( 9oz /12oz/9oz ) and 2 extra layer of 12oz each at the mounting flange thickness goes from about 1/8 to almost 1/4 at the flange those 90deg 1x1'' are 2 layer of 12oz. ( about 1/16 ) (half weight from the same L beam in Aluminium. ) the long L parts 5''x2'' are 2 layers of 12oz and a renforcement of another 12oz at the bent edge (1/16 to almost 1/8) as far as your canard size ... I have a small plate that I kept which mesure .095'' , its quite stiff and should be good for that application (I guess ) if you go with that 2.6mm ( .102'') im still new in the CF stuff...
