Guys, this is NOT a wrap-this is real carbon fiber. It took them all day yesterday to install it.

The entire dash and top had to come off in order to swap out the carbon fiber for the OEM dash.

Steve what lens are you using? Is it the 18-55 kit lens that usually comes with the T4i? Try cleaning the gold contacts on the lens with some Isopropyl Alcohol and a qtip.

If it's the nifty 50 1.8 that every one loves, then it's a very common issue as well,

Sexy cars by the way!

Saw my first white one in person today while eating lunch on a patio. That thing was looking sharp. There are a lot of black elements on the car that really contrasted with the white and it was pretty awesome.

The Fuel Rails for the Stingray arrived yesterday. The center engine cover (called the Plenum) is scheduled to come in next week in hydro Carbon Fiber.

Yes, 22PLE-this stuff is amazing!


A guy who used to be very active here on AcuraZine sells it. Todd Cooperrider at Esoteric Detail.com. Todd used to have a 3G NBP Type S.


It's expensive stuff, but it's a glass coating that lasts almost 2 years!




Modding the engine compartment.....

I can't even find a closed location to wash my car since couple weeks, you guys are still at detailing stuff
Too cold. Welcome winter welcome drive through car wash

What's glass coating Steven? Something that comes after waxing?
