Okay...who got one from the group deal? Did you install it yet? Any tips you would like to share? I don't think the holes are pre drilled since mine is still in the box.

 

Looks like I will have to be the one install this first and post pictures...

 

shoot Sadler an e-mail and ask him.

Ant

 

He got his from Ionic.

 

Paradox's website claims there is no custom work to be done, and installs directly as a factory does with OEM hardware .... should only take a short amount of time (less then an hour) I would assume, right?

Show us some pics after, curious to see how it looks. I may have to get some CF sidemirror covers since once has a crack, maybe a trunk to accent it... heh.

 

heyyy show us some pics when you install yours eh?...i'm really wanting 1 to go with my cf hood!!!!!!1

 

Okay..i opened up the box and took some pictures. Most of the holes were predrilled except for the tail lights part.

 

no holes for the taillights. ****ty. so much for no modification. good luck alligning it...is it me or does the clear coat look really milky to anyone else. maybe it's just the camera...

 

how much does it weigh? looks like it weighs a pound...

probobly around 15, right?

 

I was thinking the same thing.
My mirror covers that I got from Paradox have that milky/cloudy look to them as well. Its not too bad, but does annoy me at times.

I dont think I could deal with it on an item as big and as expensive as the trunk though.

 

It's around 15lbs.

 

The gelcoat looks fine too me. It's not a super glossy but it looks pretty close to my CF hood.

 

that looks lovely! show us some pics after the install!!!!!!!!

 

thats nice, but why no holes already drilled for the tails? i mean im sure its not hard to do yourself, but for $650ish. this is something i wouldnt mind haveing.

 

My C/F Lip was like that when I got it from ionic. I simply clayed it, cut it with #9, sealed with klasse AIO, and topped it with #26 and now it looks 20x better.

 

This isnt on the exterior. Its actually in the clear.
Ive tried to buff it out. When buffed, it does shine real nice, but the cloudiness is still there.
My lip from Ionic has an excellent shine.

 

It does look milky. I wouldnt want something i paid $600 for to be looking kinda milky/foggy. I would want 1 that has a nice clear coat. Not one that doesnt look right

 

Is it a gel coat or a clear coat? There is a difference. Exspecially when lots of sun is involved.

 

Whatever the resin coating is used for carbon fiber process...I called it gelcoat.

 

Just curious. Gel coat will not hold up to long summer heat and sun very well. I used to work for a place that sold fiberglass camper shells for pickups and the manufacturers stopped using gel coating because it didnt last at all in hot long summers.
