Default NEW CF Cowl/Wiper Arms from flasunshine1: PICS

I hesitated to post these quick photos I took tonight in the garage as these do not really do the Carbon Fiber pieces justice, but I have not had time to take any better shots outdoors yet (will soon).

The Black CF takes on a different look under various lighting conditions and environments, but here are a few photos to give you an idea...

Great shots. I also have Pat's cowl and have been debating the wipers. Really looks sharp. Pat does great quality work and provides excellent service. Cost is pricey but not in context to the fact you're getting a full cowl piece and not a stick on or partial cowl like other vendors offer.

I know this is a new product, however how well does this type of Hydrocarbon treatment stand up to the elements? I know there are multiple interior and engine bay CF components, however they are not subject to the road elements or severe climate conditions the way these pieces are. They look great and I'm sure they will be a show highlight.

At the rate Pat is bringing these new pieces to market, I'm waiting for some CF tires!

CF Tires? Hmmmmmmmmm
I will be doing my thin spokes very soon. I was thinking of offering the center cap in CF though.

FYI - The cowls are finished with ten coates of PPG automotive UV clear so it has the same protection as the reat of the exterior paint on your car. It will not fade, yellow, crack or peel.
