OP:

I see the last post here was in September last year...

Any pics of the final product...

You sold me on the carbon fiber idea, but would love to see them on your 04 GS car.

Rails are sitting in the garage.. I took the wrap off, it doesn't look right on the car without any other carbon fiber theme.

I am going to complete the project this spring.. Going matte or gloss black, to match the rest of the car accents.

If it weren't so cold, I'd already be all over this... Speaking of which, I wanted to dry run them a few more times to make sure they are perfect..
They fight the curve of the roof line, so it's hard to get them to sit tight while you eyeball all angles with one hand stuck putting pressure somewhere.

Still need to figure out how I'll get them to adhere properly, two-sided tape is not going to do the trick! Nervous about using epoxies...

-- Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:38 pm --

Here are some *updated* pictures of where I'm at now.. Not much to look at, especially when my flash is being finicky.

Still working the ends to make them square (parts I did, look more square with the roof line than non-touched parts... great). Also, keeping the ends slim to avoid making the window seals "bulge".

They look like fifteen shades of horrible, but at some point, they will be nice? =P

Funny you say that, after seeing the picture, I went and cut them. I usually notice before this point because they feel sharp, but, I guess I let 'em go further than usual this time. :grin:

I agree. :)

When I can get a black set for a hundred bucks or less, there will be some experimentation happening... LOL
