Holy ****, the CF diffuser looks AMAZING. It looks 1000x better than the regular fiberglass version. More racy-looking. I'm glad I went with CF.

How hard is it to wrap the air lid in carbon fiber?

It's not really hard. It's always the initial investment then the willingness to learn that deters people. The lid came out pretty good btw. The pics are it's first layer of resin. Now, being finished it has 3 layers of resin then 3 coats of clear. Looks sharp

I'll take some more today guys.

Trans Am Jam: Since this was my first attempt, so it's merely a cover. I made mine to be trimmed so it'd still fit properly using the existing tabs underneath. I think the best way to do it, would be to literally remake the lid. I'd take a splash of the top half out of fiberglass, and lay the carbon in the splash itself. Do the same for the lower portion.

Dam!! That is the **** right there if I didn't say so myself. If there was ever an appearance mod I have ever doubted purchasing and putting on my car. This is truly not the one it should have been for. Install supercharger or get one of these?? Dam not enough $$.lol
