The wait is over my CG/CH/Evo 7-9 friends. This is the highly anticipated DIY that some CH owners requested on here. It has been 3-4 months in the making (partly due to laziness) but I eventually got here in the end, well for now at least.

The following parts are pending:
Materials
- 1 metre ruler
- scissors
- masking tape
- lint free cloth
- hair dryer or heat gun
- pencil
- sharp blade similar to a Stanley knife
- a trusty bank card or similar
- a flat surface
- carbon fibre wrap (3M is probably the best but I got 1.5x1m roll off eBay for $25)
To make the DIY look as clean and as easy to read, a new post will be created for each part.
