Not sure why Peter removed your post ^ e_nigma? We're all waiting patiently for pic of the custom trunk lid in paint. Speed, what's the hold up? Day 3 after paint and still no pic?

No Speed, it's "White on Rice!" So...Tuesday evening and no word or pictures either? You know we all appreciate your sharing this build with us but our patience is running a "wee bit thin!" Remember that for an old '30s western, Gabby Hayes used that line in one of John Wayne's first movies?

That is not carbon fiber, it is vinyl.

Thank you for clearing that up. When I say carbon fiber wrap, I mean wrapping in carbon fiber. When I say vinyl wrap, I mean wrapping in vinyl. I guess we just have different understandings on what carbon fiber is.

If you like the look vinyl is the way to go, once you're tired of your coupe/sedan looking like "Grandmas Quilt" you can just peal it off...Gary
