OEM + Wald CF, although I think it would like fine w/o the CF treatment.

Painted my Wald Sides last night at work, finished wet sanding this morning. Came out great, not a flaw in the paint. Now this week I will be molding the center and wrapping it with Carbon Fiber. I'll post step by step pics of that as I go along!

Hey, did you have to get your whole quarter panel resprayed due to your making those fiber glass inserts to make the wald look flush?
