Is the wrap simple to do? I have some carbon fiber wrap that I need to do.
I'd recommend doing a practice piece with some vinyl that your not afraid to mess up. The roof piece was easy. But the others are pretty challenging. If u heat up the vinyl a little and pull then press to car and repeat, it should come out good. Try not to stretch to much. And don't heat it too hot cause it tends to shrivel. If it does wrinkle, jus pull it a little while heating it till wrinkles r gone. I did about one panel a day after work. You'll go mad trying to do them all in one night haha.

The shock tower really looks good with the stock pipe. I can't tell put did you add some kind of support for the pipe at the end from the shock tower?

It's hard to keep them long regardless. They get hot enough to melt.

I plan on changing pipes but in the mean time I will add a support but currently the pipe is resting on the shock tower.

I got the narrow inside the cage rear shock tower for use with tuned pipe.

I don't know if I'm having a brain fart or what but I'm having 2 problems.

What are the 2 spacers for? They look like the 2 spacers that hold the engine up off the chassis. I also seem to be missing the little balls that go in the upper shock mounting holes near the cap.

I'm thinking that I'm just over looking something.
