Hmm, i wonder if that would work out well on the trim that comes on the older sport models, the same trim on the C32s, since it's not smooth.

Thanks Kev. The strobes aren't actually strobes. They are part of the Varad suspension lighting kit You can choose to have them on all the time, a bunch of different strobe patterns or hook it up to a speaker wire and "dance" with the music. All I did to mount them was zip tie them to the mesh grill and ran the wires into the cabin.

Thanks. I'll probably wrap it eventually.

WTF. I thought I put the link. Check the events section the thread is called NYC custom car show or something like that. I would post the link but I am away from the comp.

The lip is made from 1/4" king starboard. Marine grade plastic. I bought it from a plastic place in Norwalk.

Gary: not sure how vik got us in for sun roll in, he did it at last years show as well.
