    Gemini R/C Carbon Fiber hood cloudy!

    I understand its in the gel coat! I'm only trying trying to make the best decision, not cheapest. Can the gel coat be removed fully or is that not possible without ruining the weave...

    Gemini R/C Carbon Fiber hood cloudy!

    Thanks for the experience! I will have to get a quote then. And is there an additive they use for UV protect-ant or its a property of the clear coat its self? I love this hood; it will be like I just got it new again, being I've become disgusted wit it... My bad on the big sig. The picture...

    Gemini R/C Carbon Fiber hood cloudy!

    Really? Because the body shop said they didn't think it was the clear coat. 1. How can I prevent this in the future? 2. How much would it typically cost? 3. What is the best way possible to make it most durable? 4. Thanks!

    Gemini R/C Carbon Fiber hood cloudy!

    I have a Gemini composites R/C hood for about 2 years now and around January this year I started to notice cloudiness (white discoloration) right over where the engine would be. It was buffed out with 3M compound. And I waxed it 3+ times a year with Carnauba wax (was recommended once a year with...

    roof spoiler

    Not diggin that style. More of the clean against the window ones with the faint lip. Such as those found on VW's, Benz's, and Audi's.

    One headlight out but works with highbeams, wire harness problem? (not bulb)

    Well it wound up being one of the connectors in the harness. I wonder where I can get two quality 9003 connectors to replace ours....maybe a more sealed version. I looked at pep-boys for new connectors and came across a 9003 connector but was a piece of crap. Haven't tried anywhere else...

    One headlight out but works with highbeams, wire harness problem? (not bulb)

    My right headlight recently went out but it still worked with highbeams. Ok, so I figured my Osram Silverstars were kicked (I've had them for over a year, don't quite remember how long). I went to replace them with the old stock ones and the right headlight still wasn't working but was with...

    We have 4cyl manual's, so why is our gas mileage 27 mpg!? Milage suggestions/Mods

    We have 4cyl manual's, so why is our gas mileage 27 mpg!? Milage suggestions/Mods

    At what point on your gas guages are you clocking? When the light comes on, at the E mark, etc. And how many gallons at those marks are you dividing by?

    We have 4cyl manual's, so why is our gas mileage 27 mpg!? Milage suggestions/Mods

    I'm going to start by saying right off the bat how much I love my 2002 Protege ES of 3 years w/ 67k miles on it. But honestly, wtf is up with our gas mileage!? I do 25% City, 75% Highway and I'm getting 26mpg usually!? How is it that a 1.7 manual civic(which I can't stand) can get 36/44. We...

    Why is my ES so...SLOW?

    But I get the sound whether my engine is cold, warm, hot...its always noisy. I feel like maybe its not running right and theres something I need to do! The noise is even heard in the cabin, but I mostly have music on so never hear it. I just doubt it can be good to sound like this with 60k...
