Modified B Pillar

RedNismo · 07-06-2010, 03:36 AM

Finally finished the diffuser installation. It was a major pain in the bottom, literally. I jacked up the tail of the car to work on it. It took 7 hours to finish. The two diffuser winglet was almost impossible to wrap. Also cutting out the edges required lots of patience and skills.

hahaha, i already have the CF rear diffuser installed.

when you did the roof, did you remove the a-pillar/top trim off the car or did you just squeegee the end of the CF into the seals?

I was lazy so I didn't remove anything. I just cut on top of the rubber seal.

Ahhh, sounds good. That's the beauty of these overlays. I didn't remove any of the interior bits either.

To the OP, B pillars look good. Nice Job

I had to remove my whole Nav to carbon the metra faceplate kit. Which was a huge pain in the a$$. So since I got the hardest part outta the way, I'm def gonna be lazy from here on out, lol

Looks like rice to me, but it is a clean, professional installation. To each his own!

I love the dry CF look.

I love dry carbon too. That looks really good Red. On the diffuser, how did you cut the edge, on the car? Did you have to account for shrikage at all from going over the fins?

You wana do another one lol?

I put masking tape on a metal 24" ruler. Layed the ruler on top of the CF vinyl and cut the edge off with an exacto knife. There is not much shrinkage. More like stretchage. When the vinyl heats up, it stretches quite abit to conform to the fins. The biggest problem is after the stretch on the fin, it has to shrink back to the regular curve.

No way in hell would I do another one. Not even for $$$$$$$$$$$$$. LOL
It took me 7 hours. I had to jack the car up and still ended up with a sore back for days. I almost gave up half way through when I reached the fins.
