Its a very nice job but it would seem (especially with the trunk) that the addition of the CF to the existing metal will increase the "thickness" of the trunk and will not allow it to line up with the rear quarter panels. What mil Cf are you using?

Looks great so far! Major props for the project.

Did you just do one layer of CF? I don't see a need for more but thought I would ask.

looking good. Im just doing little pieces for now. I might eventually venture into doing my roof myself.

You could've used tinted resin underneath the roof instead of painting it black. Just a thought.

Good job.

Good job.

They actually tried that on a white XB and ended up redoing everything again. The tint would not come out as glossy as you would wanna expect. Plus we wanna take the stock color out to lessen out the layer anyway. Thanks for the input though!
