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!
