Finally someone did it!

If only you could do 06+ headlights. I've been kinda worried that the heat could mess something up, though.

So... are you still doing the strut cover replacements? Good to see you posting again.
I would be interested in one if you're still "working" - I would like one without the "Z"
in place.

know what would look sick is if you painted the cf but made the paint thin enough to see the weave through the paint. Color-matched of course. It would be one of those small details that people would love.

Damn sounds sick! Post pics I have always been a fan of your work.

Are you planning on wrapping pieces for people again?
