Oh man. You'd have to be drunk to do that. Even knowing the end result is going to look killer i would be gritting my teeth the whole time. Yikes.

Lmao....there were a few "tense" moments. Actually came off pretty easy. Getting close to the fenders was the worst part...

Install will be done with the help of my body shop buddy who has the panel and a few other items at the minute

Had to knock down some of the transparency so I had it tinted just enough to still see the CF. Will look great in the sun light....

Thanks guys....it came out pretty good. Not sure if it's gonna stay though. Yes, I have issues.

I was looking for cosmetic changes. While we were playing with tinted clear, I had them shoot my tails lights and side markers. Though the new look isn't bad....it doesn't "fit". Thinking about going back to the stock panel, stock tails and matte black manta.....hood to rear spoiler.

i think the CF with tinted clear over it would look sick, when you posted that you got one that was my first thought.
