Hi World -
I'm looking into having a set of high quality molds made so we have the option of buying carbon fiber parts that are essentially ready to paint / bolt on. No muss, no fuss. Specifically, the hood and trunk lids. My concern is that with the variation we know our cars have, I want to submit the "biggest" panels for use in making the molds so that, if needed, the parts could be trimmed down for that perfect fit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) In order to do this, I wanted to get a feel for what sort of variance there may be in the panels. Here's where I'd really appreciate your help: Measure your panels and post the values in this thread. I'll start! |

Okay, dang put me down for a set, I would love the balsa like the GT lid, and if you can sign them before the last clear epoxy coat on the underside like the factory GT parts, I would really like it.
