There is a persistent story that the full quotation from the author is
"Je me souviens que né sous le lys, je croîs sous la rose"
("I remember that born under the lily, I grew under the rose"—referring to the floral emblems of France and England), but this is undocumented.

If all goes well it will be real CF this weekend, but the photorealistic stuff gives a good idea of how it will look.
hey ron jr did the carbon fiber lisence frame come with the 4 predrilled holes....i seen one on ebay but only has the top 2 holes...which i think would cause rattling....would it be easy to drill 2 extra holes in the bottom on the cf frame

my s2ki buddy sells the ones with just the top 2 holes all day long for $50 shipped. i was asking if ron jr's was real cf because his is real cf as well 2x2 weave. imma pick his up and just put some rubber stops on the bottom which would eliminate any rattling noises.

I like the CF license plate, but only on black cars. Looks really nice in Ron Jr's pic though. Especially together with the CF-covered chrome strip. You got a CF spoiler too?

Pretty cool. Makes sense though. I was thinking that the "je me souviens" was a statement of allegiance to France--"Even though we've been conquered by the Brits, I remember that we are still French." Maybe that's the same thing? Less poetic, perhaps. So you Québécois still wanna secede, or what? Serious question. Seriously off-topic.

2. Ron Jr, How did you get the carbon fiber look on the strip above the plate? did you purchased it at someplace or did you paint it yourself?

Thank you in advance

Real CF I fabricated it myself. I plan on making a new one in the spring as I found a source for nicer looking CF (better clear coat).

On a black car you won't see it I like the fact that the rear passengers can look out through the roof. Now if I had a white car I would definitly have that done.
