Bitchin' I really like wheels with a lip in black or dark grey. I haven't seen the flat center/gloss lip combo in person yet but it looks badass in pictures. IIRC your car is AW, no? Should look amazing on that or IR.

If your looking for a Resin Infused ( best resin to cloth ratio).CF roof with a class 'A' finish and visable weave.....hang on through the Winter months ,as I''ll be finishing up using Earls OEM roof for my plug by then and finished with the 2 molds and fastener points. Plus I'm local and shipping/pick-up would be a no brainer.
I'm also using his M hood as a hood plug since its in perfect condition.But I currently have 2 other CF projects leading these.

So hang tight. The nice thing ,aside from all being VARTM/VIP-Vac.Infused Process..I'll be able to offer hybrid cloth colors or even the many colors available for the top skin with the Texalium colors.Like white for a white car..or red,blue etc.And still have the lay-up schedule full CF.
Cheers,Vinny

I'll have a cool CF set of parts available by then,but will just be getting waste deep with the roofs by Oct. I'd imagine.
I'm pushing a front lip combo splitter for the Z4M through ahead of the roofs and hoods. More people have asked me about that for a easy DIY fit affair.

The roofs and hoods will follow with hoods most likely being next in line unless roofs get more demand up front.

I'll post up the progress from time to time for those who are interested and want to share their thoughts.
