Well, what color are you going to paint it? Somehow the original rally paint-scheme seems the way to go
The color is secret so far, but its not the old original color i am going to use.

I love this cars, the Old grpB rx7 that i am a mechanic on, i love it

i will come back with a price later when i have made for my own car, need to find out the total costs of it first, and also how much time i use on it.

Its a big job with CF sice it requires heat and vacuum to get out the air from the CF and to get the epoxy to harden correct.

yes, i did. Its not hard to do on the car, but it is very important to use the correct amount of was and gelcoat to make the molds to get of the fenders when it is finished.. a lots of hours to do it, but take your time and it will be a good result
