Stripped the Paint - All Carbon Fiber Wing

I found that tutorial on NorCalEvo and decided to take a chance on stripping the paint off the stock CF Wing. All credit goes to my brother Dan for his autobody skills.

Here is a link to the album of pictures: http://www.mikelaak.com/modules.php?...view_album.php


Here is a pic of it all done:

My bro got it at whatever place he gets all of his car paint. I'm not sure on the name brand but could ask.

Nice job, but using all those tape to mask is a waste.

Mine squishes in a lot. It feels very thin and I didn't think it was CF either. We took the wing off and sanded the bottom and sure **** it was like looking into a CF window below the paint.


BTW, we get tape for free

spoiler +
tail lights - ( yes i know they are factory.... )

look into either evo 7 tails or getting mr style, evo dave does both.... i think with the b/o ( blacked out ) headlights and taillights, it will give your evo more of a black(cf also) and red "theme" and it will look better.
