Yeah, a little TOO short for my tastes...the exhaust is nice, you should take it back apart and coat it (ART does theres in something, I think ceramic chrome) it reduces heat I believe...and it'll get rid of those ugly scar (welding) marks...

The shifter is rediculous

The carbon fiber looks good though.

i think if the shifter were even slightly shorter it would have reversed the gear pattern. That CF and exhaust looks good by the way

Maybe the shortness in his shifter reflects with his other 'sizes'.

heh.. jokin.

Seriously, that is incredibly short, crazy.

Is that CF stereo surround the SMP stereo surround? I've been debating on getting one, but I'm not overly confident in my ability to make the necessary cuts for the vents and logicon.

Could you describe the way you went about getting it done?

That carbon looks like SH*T!!!!

Not to throw stones, but, uhm. That looks horrible!!! I am currently making carbon peices for motorcycles and am starting on my 7...

Did you use a vinyl-ester resin??? What release wax/compound did you use...
Ever heard of duratec or wet sand paper??? what weight carbon is that? (oz. number please) also, did you hand lay that part? (Looks like it)

Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to pick a fight, but, carbon ain't fibreglass, you cannot treat it the same, the end result will indeed, look like ****.

PM me if you would like

Looks good on the exhaust, and I'll have to agree with everybody else on the shortness of the shifter. Not bad all in all, though.
