So I have been thinking about doing a CF wrap on the roof with a CF Lexon roof spoiler. I wasn’t able to find a photo of an ultra sonic blue GSF with this unfortunately. I talked to Rob at Bings Tint in MLPS and he told me what material he would use for the install. I checked it out and was sold.


I’m just going to bit the bullet and go for it.😬 I’m also going to get the side skirts and front lip covered with PPF.

The other item I am strongly considering, so I can get everything done in one appointment, is doing a chrome delete around the windows.

Appointment is set for March 19th, more pictures to follow after. I plan on doing a photo shoot this summer once it’s not -30 degrees outside with windchill.🥶

So since everyone seems to be on Instagram, I have created a page for my build. I will also be doing a photo shoot or two this summer. Hopefully I can find some other F owners up here in the frozen north for a meet up and photo's this summer. Anyone here on CL from MN?

Yesterday I received my Elvin Wong CF shift ****. Beautifully done and compliments the interior perfectly.

Some more pics from a shoot I did this last weekend. Still need to dust off some of the automotive photog skills. This Friday the car goes in for CF wrap on the roof and PPF on the Tom's front lip and side skirts. I'll post updates once completed. Stay tuned to page 1 for updates that are upcoming / sneak peak .

Yesterday got Tom’s side skirts and front lip covered in PPF at Bings Tint in Minneapolis. Also had the roof wrapped in Stek USA DynoCARBON gloss. Turned out fantastic.

Normally not a fan of carbon fiber wrapped roofs, but that looks fantastic.

Well after 2 and a half months of waiting, the carbon fiber Lexon roof spoiler is here and installed. It pairs perfectly with the carbon fiber trunk spoiler.

Wheels would finish off the exterior cosmetics that I wanted to do. I love the Vossen VFS-10, but they are discontinued. I have been searching for something similar in style but haven't found what I am looking for yet. I will be definitely contacting you in the future for headers and full exhaust.

Check out BC Forged. They make custom offsets and have a lot of options.
