Curious to see if you can see the CF weave through your paint now that time has passed. Also would love to see pics of fit and finish around the edges of headlights, by the cowling, etc.
Any regrets? I'm considering the swap while I'm painting my car to save some weight.... Thanks!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) pete |

Pete,
On my RS clone the FG weave is beginning to show in some areas. I believe the epoxy based resins for FG and CF are very similar if not the same. Just by nature, those elements are fluid and will eventually settle over time (call it "Patina" and you'll be able to palette it better). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) What I've done with the teener glass is let is sit for "years". It will probably get squirted this summer. What we did with the 911 glass is set it outside for about a week in the hot UT sun before mounting it and working it into shape on the car. I'm still "extremely" happy with my 911 glass, however, you can find weave if you look. Bottom line; the longer you can afford to let it sit (and settle) before prepping and painting, the better it will be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
