My old carbon fiber rollbar hole covers are a mess due to years of taking the body on and off. I'm looking to replace them and do something that is more visually appealing. So far my efforts look even worse. So looking for ideas!

Out of curiosity. When you say "hole covers" do you mean you block out holes not being used or the trim rings surrounding the roll bar?

Trim around the roll bar. The challenge cars have a long oval cutout on the left and right and another square cutout in the middle. They are designed to be flexible/removable to quickly remove the back 1/2 of body from the car.

john42,
Wish I had ideas to share. I've been looking at solutions for my Challenge car.
Sounds like you cut the body into front & rear halves. I did too and would expect to remove the body, front at least, for seasonal maintenance.
Hope you find a solution. I'll share if I come up with anything good.

John, I may have a set of the carbon covers upstairs. It may take me a while to find them but I have to find a wind wing for one of the guys as well. Let me see what I can find over the weekend.

That would be great if you have the older style (MK3) set! I bought a new set from Factory Five and the new (MK4) are a thicker carbon and they are also smaller and don't fit to cover the holes in my body. FF no longer has the MK3 ones.
