Yes. I'm saying that fake carbon wrap on a place that you can't use a real carbon fiber part looks out of place.

Looks good man. As long as you like it that's all that matters. I did the same to mine last week. I also did the roof, trunk, and hood.

Thank you. You can't even notice it really, I just had some extra and figured I'd give it a try.

Well man, I have the car sold so I'm done modding. I have the grille inserts to put in, and a couple electrical components to install and it's done. I'm not putting anymore money into it, but I'm gonna recommend the guy that buys it to do it and to get on this site.

And thank you for not being a dick and appreciating my ideas.

I had extra 3M vinyl. I did a buddy's car and I kept the extra from the 8x4ft sheet.

And yeah I'm waiting for the check to come in from the bank..

This...I hate those double sided tape things. I would only buy from weathertech, they don't stick out as much and they snap into place. I do like the cf though

I thought so too. I would have never did this if I didn't have extra vinyl from wrapping my buddy's car, but I did so I just thought this would look decent.
