Default Carbon Fiber Sail Panel installed.

Panel came from 6LEDesign. Fit was okay. Final product looks really
great. Cost $300 to install.

Looks good. Did you have to ask around to see who would do it or just a random body shop? That doesn't seem like a bad price though for install.

The edge butting up to the small triangle piece on the lower left edge.
Not that noticeable.
Regarding the body shop. I gave two different shops the GM service bulletin
to quote on. One was $900!! the other $300. Went the $300. Nice job. The
other shop appeared to have no idea how they were going to do it. Also I gave both the link to the SuperChevy install howto with pictures.

We looked into making it but then after a customer installed their sans the piece (just leaving our CF exposed) it looked awesome and seemed pointless to make.

I'm REALLY loving the way it looks on the NBM! Makes me miss mine lol...
