Just a quick question: these are just for looks right? I mean technically you are adding weight to the car... the opposite of what carbon is supposed to do...
|
are there still some available?

evo-r cf middle bumper cover quick tip......
:icon18:quick tip for install of evo-r carbon fiber middle bumper cover.......cars equiped with sport touring packages
If you have been reading these post, there seems to be a lot of talk about having to take off your spoiler....This is not true....grab your drummel tool with a cut off wheel some painters tape and a pen..oh ya a ruler and some type of automotive glue first take your cf part and wrap with painters tape the bottom piece of cover(the part where are the cf comes together ..the piece at the bottom of bumper ) now take ruler and measure off aprox 1.25inches and draw a line using the edge of bumper cover as 0(check your actual distance) cut that line with drummel tool keep the tape wet so the dust doesn't go all over also cover your mouth and nose(cf dust is toxic and cause cancer in dust forum now that its cut don't rush to put the fang on...cover the bottom inner edge of your stock fang with a little tape both sides this will keep fang cover from scratching the hell out of your paint get some clear nail polish and coat the edge you just cut this will keep moisture out so the cf doesn't start to separate ok take your glue and put just a few dabs on the inside of cover stay away from the edges (so the glue doesn't leak out of seems) slide cover on tape it in place with blue painters tape and leave alone so glue can set the cover is so tight no rivet or bolts will not be necessary enjoy i will post pics 2morrow when i remove tape |
I'll probably be purchasing a 370 in the coming months. I really want to put on some form of clear paint protection asap. With that said, can this be applied over an existing clear bra or should the fang portion of the bra be cut and removed beforehand?

Pics?

I have the evo Cf fangs and the good is that it looks great, clear coat is smooth, cf isn't thin or warped. However the sides were too long and I Had to dremel the sides and cut an inch off the bottom. Pretty good product for the price.
|
do you think that this product will fit with the sunline racing lip?? Even if it does fit what are the chances that the weve will line up even?? But if it was possible to get the weve even I would buy on of these right now.

I'm sure it will fit but it may create gaps. When I get my lip I may cut my cf fang cover so the lip fits perfectly. The weave definitely won't match. The cf looks almost black unless it's bright outside, you have to get up close to admire the weave.

I do like the lip though :tup: |
Looks like the carbon on the sunline kit is mate carbon and the overlay is not.
|
i believe that the sunline kit is also available in the shiny carbon look but i doubt the weaves will match even when its shiny

Installed my EVO-R fang cover today. Had to trim the bottom edge to avoid the aero lip but apart from that it was a nice snug fit.

I dremel the back also and some of the sides.

I actually only placed one 1/4 tape on the top inside of the fangs. The cover was such a tight fit I could not put much tape on. I don't think this thing would come off even if tape wasn't used.

Yeh, it's a very tigh fit and does scrate the paintwork underneath but I'll deal with that later down the line if I ever choose to remove it. Its best to put the tape on the car (and only on area facing directly forward so they're the last bit to touch the cover once its completely in place if that makes sense) and then put the fang over instead of the other way around. I only need to dremel the underneath edge, everything else was a perfect fit.

Just got 10 sets in today!
|
Tony, have you attempted to take a dremel to it yet?

LEEHIGH AUTOBODY & SERVICE CENTER Looks like they specialize in lowered cars and racing.....gonna give them a call today, too. :tup: |

Seems like a carbide cutting blade, a dremel, a shop vac, and safety glasses & mask should do the trick! BTW -- Lehigh Auto Body is right by Function Tuned out in Dulles. I think they're the first building when you turn left onto Pebble Run road. |

EVO-R,
I thought that you indicated in an earlier post that the factory was trimming the bottom edge so that the CF cover piece would fit without having to remove the front spoiler ...or without having to trim the CF piece? I just ordered this piece from you yesterday. I ordered it anticipating that I would not have to remove/cut/drill anything. I hope that this is the case. |

That is really great news. I hope that it installs easy for me, since I am doing it myself. The EVO-R piece is great timing for me. Not only will it look great, but it will cover up the small indentions and the two scrape marks on the bottom of my front bumper from dragging on a speed bump. Repairs at the body shop would have been $420, and a new part, with painting and install, at $470. The EVO piece we cost me less...and look even better!;)

Jay, any chance of a flat black version? I would love to have one to match my FRP rear diffuser.
|
Many of you ask me to make flat black center fang cover. Here it is. I have 2 sets here. PM me.

|
Its fiberglass painted.
