GT3 bumper/skirts and painted console installed!!

Finally got time to install the GT3 MKII bumper and side skirts, and painted center console / horseshoe.

Installation was done at AfterHours Automotive in Wilmington.
www.afterhoursautomotive.com
Carbon fiber overlay on my armrest console cover and rear piece was done by brian kono at AfterHours Composite Works.
www.afterhourscompositeworks.com
BTW, Brian does some of the SICKEST CF work I've ever seen. If you need some custom CF goodies you should definitely check him out. Really nice guy.

A lot of time was spent bonding the custom stainless steel mesh to the inside if the bumper top vent and lower center vent. We used 1/16" opening weave mesh for the top and 1/4" opening thick square weave mesh for the lower opening in front of radiator.

I'm very pleased with how it came out-

Info is at top of thread-

Carbon fiber overlay on my armrest console cover and rear piece was done by Brian Kono at AfterHours Composite Works.
www.afterhourscompositeworks.com

They make carbon fiber parts for track cars and other exotic projects, some of the nicest work out there.

My deal with AfterHours was sort of 'all inclusive' with the installation etc, so not sure exactly the specific amount for this part.

However, I feel fairly assured that the cost was less or comparable to anywhere else for CF work of this quality.
There is 4 or 5 coats of clear coat on top of the CF and ultra-clear urethane was used. The CF weave used matches the OEM ebrake and shifter. Overall pretty sweet.

Brian is the owner of the business, which is located in Wilmington (Long Beach industrial area). Just shoot him an email (info on website) and tell him Kurt referred you.
Basically he just takes your existing part and does the CF overlay.
