Default 56K NOOO! Carbon Fiber Overlay on Tiburon Roof and Front Bumper and Custom Eyebrows

Had a customer come in that wanted a carbon overlay on his roof and his front bumper and some custom carbon eyebrows to flow from the hood to the front bumper.

Quite a bit of work but it was worth it when he took home two trophies from HIN this last weekend in St. Pete.

Told the customer that I would keep him updated with the progress so there are quite a few pics.

Enjoy!

The roof and the front bumper are just a basic wet lay-up. The eyebrows are bagged.

I didn't see the car in person at HIN (couldn't make it), but from the pics it looks like the overlays turned out really nice.

I painted the front bumper after the overlay but the rest of the kit was done by someone else. Apparently they did a good job making the kit fit well and it only took them 10 months
