    The arrow portion is gonna be inlaid into the CF with 1/8" aluminium, & will continue back to form the "floor" of the naca duct.
    That makes sense and should look REAL nice.

    Nice. The finish on my hood scoop gave me trouble too and I ended up getting it line-X'd after messing up the paint job. I don't know how your insert would have looked in CF but the satin black looks nice.

    fellers

    I'm kinda liking it too, I even left just a hint of the weave showing through the bondo...just cuz...

    And if I decide that my sanity needs another challenge in the future, I've got enough resin to give it a go, + all I'd have ta do is sand it lightly & go...
