My center panel is curving/bowed outward in the center due to age, temperature extremes, and how rigidly they are attached. I'd like to replace it, either with a straight factory one, or a clear or CF one.



ioTus: Sounds good to me, I'll probably do it this Winter unless I come across a set cheap on eBay to send you...

hey iotus, there's also ways to clear the taillights on you own, and get colored bulbs for the housings, i've seen it on cars like this one. I dont personally find it appealling, but maybe you all will.



Also regarding the CF rear peices, I can do it, but it would cost around 300, I would suggest buying carbon fiber decal and CAREFULLY applying it to you rear center peices. To fix the warping problem you must carefully heat them in an oven at a low heat for several hours to let them settle back flat...its very complex process though and no room for error since new peices go for 200 ea, thats $600 across the back of the car.

im just saying that because my center piece is bowing outward and a cf sticker wont fix that, plus i think it would be better if it was just a flat panel without the ridges....and not $300
