a friend did it for me at the paint shop he works at.
i think he told me it was around $200-250 total for labor of stripping and 3 coats of clear.

BOOSTED - you wanna trade door handles? :D
RINO - thanx for the praise mang!!!
GOKU - the only two cf hoods i would get are the dry cf hood like the sparco evo or the wet one from c-west. i'd rather have dry though.
MISER - no rubs.

man, i wanna do that to the wing so bad. took the car to a paint shop that does all ferrari and porsche work and they said it's be too risky, unless they had instructions from a shop that had done it before. *hint* *hint*
they also said they called some mitsu techs to find out if it was really carbon fibre under the paint and they didn't believe it was...
*Edit* I suck at spelling...

vtluu write up is the best.

my friend at his bodyshop used commercial bumper stripper, sanded it down, and used 3 coats of professional/commercial dupont clear coat.
here are a few more pix my buddy took, but his camera was dying and the lighting sucks a$$.

I read his write up before, did your friend have to color in any primer deposits left after sanding like vtluu? Any way you can find out the brands of stripper and clearcoat and what grit sandpaper, that kinda thing. Thanks for any help you do provide...
