Lol, ya, it's been a really brutal last 11 weeks but finally I'm seeing my design take shape, I think you guys are going to like it. Hope to have a pic of the modified rear strut bar tomorrow - finally...

Yeah, I totally thought it would have been done in one hour (including commercial breaks) just like it is on TV...

The guy doing the install is a former WCC employee that now freelances, can't see him ever getting another job again after this f'up. I'll be back in Dubai tomorrow evening and I'm really looking forward to being disappointed yet again this Saturday.

On the flip side, the custom body bits, cosmetics and paintwork will be done within a few days of the car being handed over. She's gonna be purdy.

Yeah, I thought wrapping it in CF would go nicely with the flow of the car, it also covers up the modifications that had to be made to the bar itself.

More CF coming...

Is that a rear strut bar or a sway bar... looks like a sway bar right! Just wondering why you'd wrap it in CF bc if it's a sway bar, you would never see it and it would twist and flex as loads are transferred across it, likely shattering the resin. Swaybars are metal bc it's malleable, never seen one out of CF though it would make more sense to make a chassis bar or strut tower bar out of CF as those are meant for rigidity... I guess it must be a strut bar but I can't picture where it goes. Behind the rear seats, visible in the trunk?
