Holy crap! I hope you're coming out to the Socal/Norcal meet this summer! Can't wait to see your car! Of course, knowing you, your car will have totally changed by then anyways!

Keep us posted on your install.

Now that's a hardcore DIY. I don't know too many people willing to gut out their dash since it's one massive piece. Please take pics so we can use them as reference in the future.

paint process?

1. Take out your part
2. Sand down with 800
3. Smooth with 1000
4. Wetsand with 1200
5. Paint.
6. Clear coat
7. Wetsand
8. Wax

As said, i have access to bodyshop and use their equipment. I don't do this at home so i don't know how you can save time/money.

Great look man...
I will try to get some pics of my kicks/CF door panel. It's not as flash as yours but not bad.

I look forward to seeing everything when you got it all done man.

Sweet work.

Bubble, what do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, if you ever want to sell your CF door panels, let me know! I hope you go for a new setup in the next couple of months!
