that looks really nice but regarding the wear of the carbon fibre...
Can it be easily washed? Are there precautions to take? and regarding sun rays on it does it fade to the sun? or whatsoever?
In canada, well summer is hot and winter is freaking cold.. lol but if i do that i wont get the car out for winter..
I need your comments about that?
thanks

ok, this trend everyone is doing is not an "evo"
this is an evo x...
notice how the evo x has the middle of the bumper black too.
Everyone is just painting their bowtie bar and the lower lip of the bumper but leaving the actual bumper stock color, its not an "evo."
instead, everyone is rocking the chevy forte...
now that my rant is over, op, wrap the actual portion of the bumper so it actually looks like a damn evo for christs sake. because no one has actually made their cobalt look like an "evo" instead everyone has success with the kia mod
