Thumbs up A Carbon Fiber Morning...

Installed a new Seibon CF grill on my OBS this AM. I like it, it seems to work with the CF bits in the engine bay as well! Also, I dig the 'badgeless' look of the front end now. There is a bumper beam CF piece that matches the grill exactly (although the grill is reflecting the sky and it doesn't appear to match in the photos). It all tied in very nicely. IMO of course.

Then I threw in my Cusco CF Rear strut brace ~ yes, they will fit a wagon! Notice the clean cut I did on the carpet cover plug, it's still looks very neat and nice!

Sorry for the crap shots, but I was in a hurry! I need to deliver a new Suby to a proud owner in just a bit!

really good job on cutting out those covers. what did you use? i'll hopefully be in possession of a wagon soon and it'd be great to have a clean lookin interior.

Yes. I just didn't like the CF hood look ~ as much as I have admit I own all 3 F&F Dvd's ~ it wasn't me. I prefer just the weight savings and knowing that I have it.

I just used a VERY sharp Stanley razor knife. And made my cuts on a 'cutting board'. It was all by eye-ball... but it worked out very well. Be slow and make a template if you need to. I am just very good with the hand-eye stuff.

Damn if I know?

Really... Suby Solutions Inc. That would be the whole IPD/RallTEK/Suby Solutions mess in Portland. They need to pick one name and run with it, eh? They made the sway bars I am running and I love them. 7/8" front and 3/4" adjustable rear.
