Default Minor Cosmetic Do-overs, Front and rear...>>>>

With TT-East coming up I figured I better address some issues that had gotten a bit shabby. Anyone with the DMC front end can attest to the beating the splitter and spoilers take. Changed back to blue for the side pieces (The original install was blue), Re-cleared the CF piece and added a Chip guard edge to the bottom of the lip where the epoxy has a tendency to chip:

Also needed to re-do the CF rear valence. Cleared and polished to a glossy Satin. New Black Powdercoated mesh added for a little more subtle look:

Couple of coats of wax and I'm good to go!

Default Your edge guard reminds me. Where can I get a roll of thick teflon tape?

I'm thinking about adding a strip of it to the underside of my Elise's front bumper, so it needs to be sturdy enough for the occasional scrape, but not a big honking chunk.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.
