Default New Carbon Fiber addition

Guys,

I just received this rear trunk piece in Carbon Fiber from Jersey at Apsis USA. I was able to install it myself. More to come too-the two pieces inside the trunk/hatch area over the wheel wells are being made and should hopefully arrive in a month or so.














I was pretty impressed because this piece arrived in a wooden box....









And just a Glamour Shot for you!

^^^ You're right...if you look at that picture, you'll see the plastic pieces over the wheel well. They are also coming soon in Carbon Fiber.

Can't wait to see this with the other pieces! Think you'll do the inner door sills and surrounding trim as well?

I would like to see your trunk side panels as I'm still trying to decide If I want full carbon there or ebony nappa w/titanium stitching w/carbon where the roof retainer is.

Guys, thank you all for the responses! I'm very anxious to see the two side panels (over the wheel well areas) too.

As soon as I get them, I will post in this thread, so please stay tuned. Jersey said these pieces coming will be a first-they have never made these before. So they will be a "first" for our cars.

I did not order the two triangular pieces because they are so difficult to see inside the hatch area. I simply ordered the two side panels. Jersey did already ship me the two "hooks" that sit on top of those pieces. The hooks are where the roof locks into. So I'm holding on to those pieces and will have the two side panels and hooks installed together.
