Great job, thanks for sharing the process.

 

As well you should be- nicely done!

 

take the family out to thank them for helping you it makes them happy knowing they are being appreciated. your project is coming along nicely. I am tempted to do this as well. very interesting thread..

 

Great job so far! How much to come down to Baltimore and do mine while I drop the motor in a few weeks?

 

Hey cosmos, I dont do this for living. This is my first try at this. Based on the amount of time I am spending on this,.. it will take much more than a weekend. Beside, I have enough on my plate with being busy at work, my three sons, and my own car projects,...

Your best bet is probably an automotive vinyl installer in your area, they would charge you much less than I would ,.....

 

I kind of figured that. I may tackle it myself while I have the engine out to take car of winter projects.

 

Ok, sometimes this week I found enough times to do the rocker pannels and the shark fins. Now I am up against a bit of a dilema. I rellay like the all blue rocker and shark fin, but with all the bad roads and the constant re-asphalting of roads around here. I end up with tons of gooped up tar under the rocker. So I though I would try the upper half blue and the lower half carbon fiber (also vinyl).
What do you all think? Should I go all blue or with the lower half in carbon fiber look?

 

Carbon looks awesome and subtle enough down low to not be obnoxious

And I agree with the post below that 964's look better with the black lower rockers. Makes them look lighter.

 

I would go with black or the carbon fiber look. The 964 looks really fat and heavy with the lower rockers body colored.

 

Love the carbon look, would love to do my hood in the carbon look to prevent all those chips. Since the blue is so light, I think you will end up with quite a contrast between the carbon and blue when the rocker is on the car. Just carry a can of that goop cleaner around :-) Just my two cents.

 

Personally I think the CF vinyl would cheapen the look unless its that real-gloss CF wrap.

What about Satin Black?

 

I'm a big fan if colour coding the lower skirts and bumpers, really lowers the body.

That said the carbon contrasts nicely with the blue

The carbon look is awesome! Nice work.

 

+1

I also think black rockers look best on the car. Unless of course your car is black then you have no choice.

 

I did the hood on Wednesday evening with a fellow PCA autocrosser. This would have been a real pain by myself, actually most likely impossible to do by yourself. And I had to throw the hood emblem on it right away.
The emblem stand much more on a ligher car.
