that looks fantastic! And I love the flat carbon fiber, looks so much purposeful and racy in flat instead of gloss. I have to ask though, when do your valve covers get sent to Autokraft for "flattening"? :D

man that does look great. Jody is right though, those valve covers need the flat treatment. Also might be time for the inner fenders :D

Very nice. I too love the flat carbon look.
What's with the giggle juice I see snuck in there. How's that been working out :lol:

Scott, car's ridiculous. That or you're one hell of a photographer. Not sure I'm feeling the flat look with the rest of the engine compartment.

What fender braces are those? I hadn't seen any that would really fit the cove in the Anvil panel but yours seem to fit well.:thumbsup:

That looks very nice! Love the matte finish.
I wish someone would simply make things like that (and inner fenders for running a 275 tire, for that matter) out of fiberglass.
I don't need/can't justify the expense of CF.

Looks killer as usual Scott. I've been thinking of that part myself, Anvil did a real nice job with it. :thumbsup:
So enough with the bling, I want to see some burnout videos :lol:

Well, you're in luck because we are going to start offering certain parts in fiberglass at an entry level price. I think we'll stock fiberglass versions of the close outs and inner fenders once we reduce our inventory of CF parts. Anything in our inventory can be special ordered in fiberglass, but we will need at least 6 weeks.

Scott---that looks amazing--really flows with your car---I'm looking forward to the time when I can do this type of refinement on mine--I love this kind of stuff. Shoot, I'd also love to swap subframes out on mine in 20 hours like you did, but let's get real. :lol:

Hey Matt, I think you're in luck too. I'll be calling you to help deplete your inventory of CF in the next couple of weeks. I might even have to add a close-out panel to the list, it's a nice piece.

Scott, did you have to remove the header panel to install the close out panel?

No, it it fits below it. I didn't have to really take anything apart. :thumbsup:

Matt that is good news indeed. Particularly interested in the inner fenders.
