Default custom sail panel from specialized stainless and more

I bought these from Steve and had them powdercoated and then etched on top of the powdercoat. The 2 pics show how subtle it can look depending on the angle. Thanks again Steve.


I also have since painted my calipers black and got reflective silver decals that say formula. Here are some more random pics from the day. Thanks for looking.

Thanks. That ugly oxidized piece was bothering me for a long time and stainless steel matched my theme, but I thought it would look awkward there. I came up with the idea and Steve made it happen. Its nice just to be a little different. Plus I think I got a pretty good deal considering how it finishes the canopy. Stock that sail panel area seems like an afterthought.

Are the sail panels the same for convertibles and hardtops?

I like those a lot more than the flashy ones that are polished or chrome. Definetly a nice subtle exterior change.
