Thanks! I actually went a different route though; I stuck that support under the headliner and just notched the headliner so it would lay smooth.

After weeks of staring at my headers I finally had a chance to install the TOMEI UEL's. They sound great paired with my Berk axel back. It may be a bit too loud but YOLO...

Got tired of running badge-less so opted for JDM flavor.



Grimmspeed hood struts, because hood struts.



No more missing trunk carpet.



And these bolt cover thingys. I'm told they're good for 5HP each? I'm on my way to 222HP NA!

how did you glue it on? spray or brush?

Finally installed my steering wheel. Need to clean up the transition points. I may just take it to an upholstery shop to make it look good...

You should really buy an aftermarket steering wheel if your going to keep throwing money at this project.

Here's an idea. Buy a fisher price steering wheel and practice on that!

I think he means it looks horrible.

C'mon we're giving you negative feedback only because we think you can do better. I'm sure if you tried again it would look better.

I respect your opinion, and I agree it's not professional and was done in my kitchen. Please guide me on how to make a carbon fiber flat bottom wheel. I am a novice and this is my first CF job.

It's a better job than I would have done. I would have looked at the project half way and then freaked out, contemplated buying an aftermarket, and then tossed the half baked project. lol

I like it. I wouldn't do it just because I like the factory wheel the way it is but I like that you did it and it came out well.

I used this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Weldw...0107/100195615

Has brush built in. Worked -reallllly- well and very easy to apply. Hardest part is just making sure you get everything aligned right before committing to placement. I found a small plastic object in my house to practice on first to get the hang of it.

Wrapped the lower part of the front bumper. Also tow hook plug for fun with some leftovers. Up close you could tell my brother and I are no professionals so best to admire from afar.
