  • Sail panel replacement

    Just thought I'd throw this out there.. Good price.. GM no longer makes these panels by the way.

    How long before Brian comes in here and over the carbon fiber panel? I thought 6le was going out of business?

      Still overpriced IMO, I saw a brand new GM one a few weeks back for 400 bucks on tech, I almost bit the bullet-I'm not entirely convinced that the problem has to be solved by replacing the entire sail panel.. I'm curious to see what yours does under some hot summer sun on that black..

        I never had a bubbling issue on my car... Well until All Speed painted it.. Then after the first try at black it was real bad, but had him redo it and it has been fine.. But I agree, we'll see how it does this year as it should be out a lot more...

          I had mine repainted, hope it lasts but only time will tell. Was the issue only with LS1 cars or do the late LT1 cars have it too? I dont know what caused my bubbling.

            I'll believe it when i see it. They keep coming out with new products and ending production of others. Didnt fred just pay a premium for his harness bar because production is ending?

            Thankfully my car hasnt had the problem with the sail panel bubbling at all, and i hope it stays that way.

                I'll second that. He makes some stuff that there just isn't any demand for. The fiberglass one I can see, but I don't think there will be enough demand for the carbon fiber.

                  it also seems like he ends production of stuff there is demand for.
