That's awesome, what were the numbers?

Will Synergy Composites make carbon fiber pieces for anything? I see a few parts for the G on their website but some you have weren't on there. It looks like he does great work but wanted to compare it to Carbon Fiber Elements.

Thanks jpowersjr2

The G is tuned perfectly, final numbers are 314/260. The difference is night and day.

It's unfortunate that I have to inform you that Synergy has failed. I myself have waited 7 months for my custom front cf splitter and side& rear splitters. As of today nothing. He's had problems with other customers which have come out and blasted him in order to get their parts. Others like myself are still waiting for parts which have been in his shop for months now. When a person takes to lie and uses excesses he's done, can't be trusted. Most everyone stopped placing orders and have spread the word not to deal with him. Those that have a gift and can't understand themselves is just sad.

Great numbers!

Man that's unfortunate to hear. Well CFE it is then. Ride looks dope, keep it up.

Wow. That's impressive. Is the cover matched to the car's paint?

What if you painted your dipstick handle black?

How many hours have you stared at that engine bay and tried to figure out a wire tuck?

I think what I'm seeing is the rad cover and engine cover in body color, as well as the vertical curvy pieces under the back trim seal. I like that, I really do. No so much the arbitrary red sections of the rad cover, though. Have you considered a gloss black there?

Those Z1 couplers work with all the red going on, although it's difficult to get all kinds of red to work together. Just because something is red, and red is the theme, it doesn't mean it matches. That red anodized rad cap cover, for example. Love the piece, but it looks odd next to the gloss red that's elsewhere.

OP, have you ever considered a blank plate in the back, with a single piece of trim seal? That was a winter project of mine last year, and it's something I could see you taking on.

Very nice work on that engine bay. You just need to take care of the oil dipstick.
Great job on the back seat too.

Yes panels are painted to match body color, red is 3 stage pearl paint which matches interior trim.

Dipstick will be painted soon

Too many hours, hope to have it done in the future

Don't like black, hard to maintain.

Z1 red matches pretty good and yes radiator cap has to go.

I have a custom plate for that rear section, should have it done next year
