If you're really adventurous you could leave the pink lens off. Just figure out a way to seal the reflectors well so you can protect the bulbs.

Have you done cf overlays before? I'm asking cause ot looks like you went pretty heavy with the resin. That piece is gonna be a pain to sand, buff, and polish. Also you should use more catalyst. It shouldn't take 24hrs for the resin to dry. With the proper amount it should take around 4hrs. Just don't put too much cause then it will become very brittle.
Other than that it looks like you've got a pretty sweet project going there.

i havent worked with CF before so this is a learning experience for sure. I mixed the resign and hardener 2 to 1 as it said in instructions. . and i just followed what it said that it takes 20-24hrs for it to fully dry for sanding.

This weekend was hin and i didnt get anything done on the tails... will update when i get off my lazy *** and get something done lol
