I totally Dig the CF... but the yellow is a little too yellow for me

Perhaps a yellow car could pull that off.

Toby, you're going to paint the CF or are you doing a two tone, CF hood, A pillars, B pillars, roof, and hatch?

Please for the love of god don't do that. There's a reason a Pagani Zonda has that interior... because it's worth 20 times more than the Z and actually looks good with a flashy looking sporty interior.

Jabdo, I said inspiration, not going to copy it exactly. I love CF and obviously the entire interior can't be CF so I'm looking for different options. BTW I'm willing to bet money that if I didn't say that the picture was the interior of a Zonda, you would have had no clue as to what car it was.

Picked up the bumper and the A-pillars today.. Looks like the Hood, fenders, and roof are
waiting for me at the shop

Old A-pillars there for referance.





Yum!


You can see thru it.. I like.



On to the install.. Start by peeling off the old top sealing strip from the stock a-pillars.





Some good'ole 3m weather strip adhesive.


Heat gin to make it dry a little quicker.





Main door seal installed with clips.





Line up the A-pillar with the holes that the screws go in. Its not perfect.. but its close..
I had to dremmel out a little material to have the holes line up.







Install the metal strip.. but don't tighten it down until you have the a-pillar in the place you want it.


A little more 3M Adhesive... also run it alond the rest of the main seal.


~heat~


and done






Overall I give these a B+ for fitment. There is a small gap near the rear that I will epoxy down when I install the CF roof.


Tomorrow night I will go pick up the rest of the parts, and try to install the fenders, and if I have time.. epoxy the roof.

You really couldn't wait one more day could you. LMAO. All I have to say is I saw this stuff in person yesterday and it is awesome. The pics really don't do it justice, honestly. That front bumper is so sick!

Can't wait to see you tackle the roof piece. It will be a battle for sure I'll bet.
