Default I hate to cut it, but I'm going to have to...

Just got this nice piece in today, but in order for it to fit right, I have to take my dremel to it.









Cutting carbon fiber sucks, anyone have any tips before I begin cutting?

Just be extra carefull with the fibers from the rough edge they can go through your hand real quick, I tend to wear gloves when I work with carbon and with fiberglass. I also wear a resperator when cutting and when flaming, but alway were very thick gloves when dealing with carbon that has been exposed to heat. I once had a carbon boom catch fire in one of my HLG gliders, I just let the thing burn for fear of the strands.

by the way those are some mighty fune looking parts where did they come from.

BYS, no benefits, ask Gregg Ginsberg. Looks nice, be very careful when cutting.

That's cool. What does that cost?

There are cuts for the hood catch, I can see them.

I noticed you have pins sticking up through the hood. What hood do you have? That piece doesn't look like it would work with the OEM hood at all.
