Very unique. Was it DYI or did you have someone do the work?

Give it a go its not too bad when you get into it and becomes very satisfying...Important precautions must be taken when trimming or sanding carbon fibre.

Sounds like you can do a DYI video. I expect one could get carried away if not carreful.

HaHa Videography has never been my thing to be honest, I can dig out a link that shows you step by step instruction if you would like.





Odd images of the trims at different stages.

You beat me to it! Just got home from a top-down drive, 67 degrees here. But back to colder weather tomorrow, will probably store the car after Thanksgiving.

Drove it all afternoon to delay the inevitable as long as possible, cold front goes through tonight. No above 40 weather for foreseeable future. Just as I pulled the cover over her the rain began.

You can all live vicariously through me—or not—since the only thing I will be “putting away” this winter will be shots of Tequila. You’re welcome.

Frankly I’m not so sure which is more beautiful. My car parked in front of 3 stunning F-Types sitting in the showroom of Jaguar Land Rover Scarborough Maine OR my Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a Biscuit from St. Joe’s Cafe, also in Scarborough….

(Every Saturday the General Sales Manager—my brother-in-arms, eh, I mean cars—Ron McIntyre buys the Sales Team breakfast, so I thought that I would join them this morning).
