Those calipers look as though they were made with additive manufacturing.

The madness continues! Wow this is taking forever, but its coming along! The door and one fender are done. The panels in the last shot are being trimmed and are covered in wax curing (so they look like hell, I know). I feel like now, 80 hours into the carbon fiber project I'm hitting my groove.
