DO NOT BUFF CARBON FIBER unless it has be cleared by a body shop.....your dooming your gel coat and twill by buffing the stuff without a reclear.

anyone have an xccelerated concepts trunk and hood they wanna part with?

waxing if fine beacuse your not cutting clear down just if you have the car detailed tell them DO NOT BUFF THE TRUNK....... best bet is to get the thing recleared by a body shop for like a 150 bucks or so and then you can buff it and polish it all you want...plus is akes the carbon look deeper

they bought their stuff from a company called cf tech they didnt make their own.

any legit parts company you will be able to get a hold of.....we use a lot of aftermarket parts in the shop from all sorts of companies....we literally test fit everything before we start the prep or blocking. not worth the risk of painting something that fits like ****.
