Got my baby back from the detailer today. Had him polish the trunk lid and forged CFTP wing. He then installed the Archetype Racing forged carbon fiber trunk lid trim to cover the holes left over from the s-wing and added some reflective black vinyl I ordered from Bemaro Films. Finally he ceramic coated the wing, trunk lid, and trim piece and detailed the whole car for me.

Wing looks badass! I've got the black reflective Bemaro decal under mine as well and love it. Not sure how I feel about the tiny spoiler trim piece thingy
Well it was a lot cheaper than welding it up and hoping they can match the 3-stage paint lol.

Absolutely bad ass top to bottom Brian! I need to get my wing up higher… it would help with rear visibility at the track. Happy to see you went with my side pane graphics! This was the rough sketch I sent Benjamin asking him to make side decals:

Yep, you’re the one I got the idea from lol. The Hyperion mounts will give you more visibility at lower angles but if you’re on a descending stretch it won’t help. From my POV the bottom of the wing is just below the top of the rear glass looking in my rear view so I can see windshields, bumpers, and grills better. But if it’s a truck or any vehicle higher than a car I can’t see the windshield.

Your GT500 is wicked bad ass! I think you have added all the "right stuff" to make it a Blue Ribbon winner as a show car, and also for being an eye catching Shelby whether on the road or parked. Enjoy that great feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing things that increase your pride by creating this unique GT500.

The hole trim looks like it belongs there. Very few people would know the difference. Nicely done!

That’s one sexy looking ride Brian. Those wheels are awesome! I wonder how it would look with bronze exhaust tips?

Tell me more about the trim piece 🤔 This is the first time I have seen/heard of this.

It’s made by Archetype Racing and you can get it in 2x2 weave carbon fiber, forged carbon fiber, or gloss black as well as matte finishes for the CF versions. It’s a thin piece with 3M tape and it covers the center holes left from the s-wing.

Do you caulk or plug the holes so water can't get in there?
