Received a beautiful piece of 1mm CF sheet today which I going to use to block off the turn signal holes.
I was thinking it would look better to make a template that fit under the lip and then use the existing screw holes to attach the CF to the car. The problem I see is that attaching it from the top (using the same screw holes) is that you'd see the side of the CF, where it is cut. Maybe there is a nice (small) rubber bead at McMaster Carr that I could put around the CF so you wouldn't see where it is cut. So underneath or on top, what do you think would look better?  |

mounted on top with some sort of rubber trim to cover exposed CF edge.
If you can't find anything that would work that way, then as long as the paint looks good where the turn signal bucket and lens resided, I would mount it under the mounting flange... Hi Randal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
