The carbon was hand laid. Epoxy. ;o)

PM me, and I'll get you the info. But you should be able to find someone in our area instead of sending them to Los Angeles. Shipping will cost more than the sticking. ha

We decided if we can't paint it, might as well get the dash and some the interior back in the car today. Here's what the dash is looking like so far. It's black onyx Ultrasuede. Gauges are custom logo-ed with the logo lighting up (along with all the numbers, as normal). Bezels where painted to match the car (well, eventually the car will match the bezels). ha

I generally dislike body kits (just a personal opinion) but this one so far looks really cool. Looking forward to the final product!

Matte Red with super glossy carbon everywhere would look hot.

The gap just allows paint to get inside between the rear bumper and front
fenders, then the & rear quarters and rear bumper. I like doing it that way
instead of painting the parts separately off the car.

PS: The gaps are a few washers placed between the parts to keep the separated.

Thanks! I'm running over to the paint booth to see if we're still on for tomorrow. It's raining pretty good,
and Ive got to take it about a 1/4 mile to the paint booth. Rain not good when getting ready to paint.

Was always a big fan of the Gemballa Avalanche, but was all that time and $ worth doing on a 997, it wont come back to you when selling.. unless you are planning to keep your car for a while. But it does look awesome!

It's coming along great! Love the work on the dash too. Where are you having it painted? Curious since I live in T.O. and are always looking for high quality shops for detailing, paint correction, etc. I've used Premiere Coach in the past and have known the owner over there for over a decade. Have used auto obsessionz in Camarillo for my paint protection and tinting. I used MKS to install my Tubi.

Thanks. ;o) I love the look of the cars too, as you may have guessed.
The money will come back to me. I've built quite a few custom Porsches
over the years. I haven't lost out yet. Knock on wood.
