Buick T-Type, 70 cuda, S65 and a very FAST Truck!
Please show us some more pictures of the CF interior. It looks great! Do you have any clearance issues around the buttons where the CF wraps around?

Very nice job in the lowering. You going to keep the stock 65 wheels or go for something else?

I am doing the work myself but it's NOT real CF trim. This is the 3M DiNoc CF vinyl.

Oh wow, cool. How hard is it to work with this stuff? Do you have to disassemble everything and then do you tuck it under the pieces to make it look factory or do you just cut at the edges?

It's pretty easy once you get a hang of it. I you have to use a heat gun to heat up the material and wrap it around curvy surfaces.

I disassembled the whole shift gate (kind of a PITA) and then once everything is tucked in and molded properly you assemble it. The material is very thin so there is really no clearance/fitment issues.

I love it...still miss that S600 though. If I had a choice between that S65 and your last S600, I'd take the S600 just because it's the only one of its kind..

Washers plus SDS in the front and just SDS in the rear. Need an ELM.. regret selling my S600 with it and pulling it out prior.
