That's what appears to be the case.

Also, in case you didn't know; the rear bumper is all one piece (I know! Weird, right!?). That black plastic portion down below is not separate from the painted portion.

Which is exactly why my Chargespeed lip/side skirts are still sitting on the garage floor. I don't have the heart to drill holes into my bumper.

Hood, roof, and trunk, as well as lip spoiler. Going to get GT3 carbon mirrors, TRD carbon fender inserts, and eventually a carbon lip and side skirts.

And as for cutting the car...

I hate it, but I'm thinking about the end product. It's what made me go through with it!

UPDATE: Wheels aren't coming in for another week... I'm furious, but there's nothing I can do but bitch and complain and kick tires around. Car goes in for paint today though, will get pictures of that once it's done.

How was the install of the carbon roof and i am really interested to see how you paint the car.

VesperLynn · 03-13-2013, 12:48 AM

Very easy. Was only an overlay, but I had to trim the edges for it to fit. Word of advice, if you need to trim, only sand by hand. Do not use power tools.
