Ill try to answer them all...I personally love the look of cf. That's why I wanted to do all the panels on the Z and no paint on them. Its not for everyone, tru, and I do respect everyones opinions. But I love the look. So I wanted to keep it going on the truck. And we did do all the cf work in house so they are both showing off our work. For the rear quarters on the truck they don't come off, obviously, so I made a fiberlass "skin" and then laid cf on that. When they're done they will be epoxied onto the quarters and all seams will have a nice smooth bead of urethane to hide the edges a little, just like the Z. Except the Z quarters have new shape and are a little wider. For the engine bay we didn't have to do much, the insides of the fenders are actually where alot of parts are mounted and I painted all that black. The rear firewall has a black covering so you don't even see any of the original color. No one will ever know I did a color change. Unless you get in there and really look. That's all im doing to the truck for now this year. I originally had no plans to even touch it, but as things go, I changed my mind, lol. Nothing stays stock with me very long. Haha. So we'll see what happens in the future.

Thanks for the response. I get it now. Absolute show-stopper. Crazy!

So, it appears that as long as you can remove/isolate a piece, you can wrap it. Is this true? Hmmm...

not much for the 2-toned cf theme, but you guys do some amazing work. I do like certain elements like...

Yes sir, we've done alot of random parts over the past few years....Just about anything is possible, just the material its made of makes prepping a little different, But end result is all the same.
