Post pics! I bet that looks great, and Got a question for you, about your tjin trunk, did you have to cut or modify it to fit or was it just bolt and go?

You have to cut out the trunk latch and drill the holes for the tail light screws. It's not very difficult.

not even close to the same thing...any part you have to modify it a lil bit to install it and if your not up to it then bring it to shop to install or dont modify your car

Just wrapped the hood in CF vinyl. 30 min job. Also did the trunk too. But it took a little longer because all of the curves. Got about 60 bucks in all of it.

real C/F will always look better because of that sweet gloss, I was considering spraying some Di-noc in a few clear coats then buffing...

I know, i wish I had the money for the real ones, but thats 600 bucks. lol only cost me 38 for the hood.haha. Im going to spray some extra vinyl that I have with some clear and see how it turns out. If it looks good then I will spray the hood and trunk.
