Sorry, no pictures.

Since you mentioned it, I would have liked to see it as well.

...i'm having this same procedure done to mehve right now, thanks(?) to a highway debris incident last weekend - if i have a chance to visit the shop while the work's in progress, i'll try to get a few poor cameraphone pictures...oh: i'm keeping the front seam, just losing the plinth...

...the good news is that all of her front clam and rocker panel scars will be refinished and repainted, and it's only costing me $700 beyond what insurance is already covering...finally she'll have a clear enough complexion to justify starshield!..

looks great I would like to see it with out the plinth or the winglets. It would look really clean and provide more scrape clearance....

Front End Damaged

Got into an accident need some help! I figure a new clam shell, new glass. But would like to consider some ideas. I put out feelers for the mesh inserts, would like to consider a modified clam (does anyone sell it or should i just have it repaired as shown above)
Deer strike looks like it did not hurt anything outside of the clam, window, and driver mirror.

It's threads like this that keep me hoping someone will back into me again. It's been a while.

Go for the CF calm shell ???? Cheaper than the new one from lotus.

I was in the same situation one month ago. Instead of ordering new ones, just ordered new CF one from ken at rezozport..

What does the front clam weight: oem and CF

Wet laid CF is heavier than autoclaved
