The Skidmarx lower cowl / fairing I ordered from David Cork at Streetfighters By Design waaay back on January 18th was delivered last night. The cowl is shipped disassembled in three sections, front, left and right. The quality of the fiberglass looked very good, it was much better than a lot of the replacement Corvette fiberglass I have seen.
This morning I took the cowl over to the body shop I use to be color matched to my NT. The owner took a look at the parts and thought the fiberglass was a good job as well. I should have the painted parts back on Friday afternoon.
I can tell everyone now the downside to this cowl option will be cost. I paid about $200 for the cowl and my painting bill is just over $220... By the time everything is finished this will be close to a $450 farkle...
My only concern is I have a huge bag of bolts, nuts, and mounting bits that resembles an Erector Set gone mad sitting on my table. It is going to be interesting figuring this one out I suspect as the documentation is not real specific...
I'll do a How To write up with photos when I get the cowl back and start the mounting process...
