BMC- it's single sheet carbon...flimsy as hell. You can actually see through the fibers in day light from the bottom side. Buddy of mine did it with three clear coats and did an outstanding job. He did a very light sanding for prep before laying it down. Came out great.

XM- I got lazy and didn't pull the car out today. Here's some pics from a few months ago, just think of it with a slightly different hood...

I haven't done it yet, still waiting on the replacement bumper. Started test fitting pieces though, getting ready. Cleared a lot of the carbon pieces as well when the I had the hood done.

Thanks man. The hood came uncleared, but it had a lot of fogging in all the corners of the vents. My buddy did an excellent job with it. I wasn't expecting the clear to come out this good, but it's flawless. This is the same guy that will be doing the rest of the kit for me.

I'm hoping I can keep them. The Garage Mak widebody isn't that wide. Hopefully just some bigger tires and dial out some of the negative camber in the back and it'll be alright. Gonna start putting it all together when I get back in country on the 7th, hopefully have it all out to paint the next week. New bumpers have arrived in country, they're just waiting for me to set up a delivery date!
