After selling the '05 and buying the '07 last fall I had some time to kill this winter and came up with this. I did all the carbon fiber and paint work myself. Not show quality but it works for me.

Two things wrong with this picture? Rocks/ pebbles in the panel in front of the rear tire(vendor Pipedreams has a fix for that on his site) Secondly the GM Chicklets! PS. Where'd you get the caps? Haven't seen those before.

I don't remember where I got the caps ( left over from the '05 ) but I added the carbon fiber to them to set them apart from what I have seen.

Plan to fix the rock problem..
