I don't know if that would require too much work or not, but it would look best. The original panels are tapered and not straight cut and it makes a difference. 1999 SVT Contour 2003 Honda Pilot 2005 Toyota Tundra

Flush mount or not this will create a finished edge and if it did show a little it would still be CF not the unfinished edge of the gray fiberglass or whatever the base is. The base material should be very thin so that is slightly flexible to allow it to follow the contour of the original panel. If it's too thick it will not flex and therefore will not sit in the opening properly. The outer dimensions of the base material should be undersized to allow for the additional CF and epoxy/clear coat on the outer edge to properly fit into place on the OEM panel. I think if your guys can get this done everyone will be very happy and you will sell a sh!t load! Keep up the good work...your getting there Scott Exactly. Not having the clearcoat on the sides will result in crumbling/chipping clearcoat on the edges over time. Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

As far as considering the edge, it will be thin enough that you won't be able to see the edge of the plate after it gets mounted. Also, it will have enoung flexibility that it will not lift up after using double sided tape or other adoptable adhesive. I will use between two to three layers of C/F fabric and vacume it so that it will work out fine without a problem. Perhaps there will be a problem, i am alway here in Cali to rectify the problem. You see, i am not in china or japen. My facility is located in LA, CA. the city of angel. The photo was a protype and i see what you guys'concerns are now. If there is anymore concern or hesitation to place an order, let me know. I will do whatever i can to assist you. thank you.

Not having the clearcoat on the sides will result in crumbling/chipping clearcoat on the edges over time. Not necessarily. Vacuum bagging will help the sides form better. The only thing clearcoat will do is make it look prettier. I would much have a clearcoated side than a non-clearcoated side. --Matt 2003 Sonic Blue SVT Cobra Coupe 2003 RedFire SVT Cobra Convertable 2005 Dark Toreador Red F150 XLT 4x4 2000 Black SVT Contour - Beater
