Default I got an idea

And that is to replace the black plastic triangle sail panels that are on the sides of are verts. I was thinking of using thin stailess steel with a emblem or something etched in the panel. When I get this done I will post pictures.

Keep us posted! I have a Laser Engraver (well it's actually the wife's store) and may want to do this as well.

I've seen people replace this piece with carbon fiber and that looks good. But I would think that stainless steel (SS) would look too shiney on these cars.
