My Carbon footprint
I’m continuing with my CF obsession.
Installed upper Cf splitters and side skirts. Rear bumper is next. I also had my roof wrapped gloss black (I have the sunroof) and a CF antenna cover installed. I love the way it all came out! Rear skirts and spoiler and maybe mirror caps are next. |

No
It took me longer to find a sunroofed car. I’m big into roof racks and you can’t do that with a CF roof. I also love the extra light. And lastly I love to place my GoPro mount there for my VLOGs and at the track. So in summary: I love my sunroof! Hehe |

He's making up for the CF roof deficiency elsewhere
It looks good so far but how's the reception the the roof antenna covered in CF (it's a CF cover right)? Doesn't that block the SAT radio signal? Have you tried the road side assistance button with it installed? |

On the F8x with ZCP seats, you can mount a suction cup directly on the back of the seats. |

Yeah the car is shaping up nicely! Agree with the sentiment on the wheels - they really elevate the aggression level against the blue.
Cheers.

In your install video on the blades, are they CF overlay or full CF? The reason I asked is because it looked like you screwed it without predrilling holes for the screws. With a pure CF part, that would crack around the screw holes.
I did this exact install last weekend and would recommend you use something (or someone) to help push the blades flush against the rocker panel before securing both ends. Basically take out the sag/slack to ensure that once you start screwing the middle in, there's no bulges created by the sag. Otherwise the DIY video is spot on. |

Having said that, they did develop Tiny cracks around the screw holes. I should have predrilled them. My mistake. Great point about the middle. I actually ended up taping them in the middle to eliminate the slack. Thanks for watching the video by the way! |
