I effed up in two places so I made seems on both sides and when I finish it out I will paint symmetrical black stripes to cover the seems. Don't have any more carbon to re do it but maybe in the future I'll take it back off the car and add another layer. For now this will have to do. This is a pain in the AZZ and I understand why carbon is so costly. I'm not doing this ish again!!! >:/

Even with my epic screw ups it's coming out ok. Tomorrow I'll cut to fit and lay a second layer of resin. Tuesday I'll sand it down, paint the stripes, and clear coat. Should be ready to install Wednesday. :)

I won't be doing this again until I tire of this one... It was a PITA. However I learned a lot from my mistakes and know the next time will be better... Whenever that is.

Couple spots of white coming through mostly from the grill. 2nd layer of resin has been laid. Probably will throw some black plasti dip down to cover the white spots when it's all done and before mounting. Not bad so far for my second try at making this. Much further on this attempt than the last one. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...c34f979754.jpg

Thanks G! It's not perfect but I am happy with it thus far. Will be ready to mount on the car in a couple hours after the paint is dry. I plan to do another in a couple of months after I've gotten back from vacation so I can devote the time to it. Hopefully the third time will do the trick. For now this is ok. :D

Next weekend we are installing my RPM rollbar 4 point. Just waiting for them to email me the templates. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...a1ecd66b17.jpg for now it's home is my dining room and makes a fantastic jungle gym for our cats. Lol.

Did you get the chrome molly or the soft steel?

Mild steel

Is that a bolt in or weld in? Also where did you get it?

CF is a bitch to work with, I did my whole interior and engine cover. I will never do it again. But it looks nice. You're front looks nice with the two black strips.
