Not long after the wheels/brakes have arrived, huge boxes from Top Secret Japan have arrived as well; however, we sure were a bit disappointed in the quality of these FRP components from a Japanese vendor with high reputation.
To sum it up, we’ve never seen ‘transparent’ FRP in the past being the finished product, which means the manufacturer didn’t even bother to apply gel-coat layer to get it paint-ready…
And by paying more for the CFRP (Carbon FRP) seems like a huge rip-off as the carbons were patches like the shirt that bums wear on 6th street in downtown LA…
The only piece that we were not disppointed from appeared to be the carbon headlight housings…
At that time, we had our fingers crossed hoping that the test-fitting would not make much more damage to our already expensive bill from the bodyshop.
to be continued…
