Hi,

Thx guys for your nice comments.

@prairiecustoms: the band was cut to width, then I removed the outer 3k carbon tow (lengthwise, both sides of course). It's then tacked in place with masking tape wraped to become double side in the area of the mold where is the welding lens opening recess (dunno if it makes sense). I do not have tack spray so thats the only way I found to "secure" it relative to the mold. The ends of the band are secured to the mold flanges the same way.

For the rest, i just prayed the Composite God for the band not to move while laying the fabric layers. Seems I was lucky (but hey I prayed much).

Made some side scoops for my car.  These are wet lay with a 200g outer layer for the nice pattern followed by 2 layers of 600g.





I also made some dash plates to replace the the manky silver ones which looked rather dated.

Hi Matthieu. I'm glad you finally made it! Looks quite nice, but should I ask for some front side pictures?
