Do you have any close up pictures of them? I just ordered all the carbon sheets, interested to see how they look!

Looks better in good light. I bet that has to be a real PITA to get in the right positioning so it is lined up perfectly with the lights and the nike swoosh.

Wasn't hard at all, I started at the left corner of the swoosh (on this picture) and then along the bottom. This 3m vinyl is thicker than normal wrap so I used a hair dryer to warm it up and make it more workable.

Thank you!

I decided to put the rear bumper fake vents too! Still not sure if they'll stay on or not.


And I did some raised white letterings on the tires

I think I'll install this piece this way instead of mounting it on the spoiler.

SICK build brother! I was wondering if you don't mind answering a few questions I have:
How did you black out your window trim? paint? plastidip? Did you remove the trim before painting? Looks great!
How do you like the 2 piece rotors? I heard all two piece rotors are noisy. Would like to get your experience with them. Thanks brother!

Yeah, I was going back and forth with either a CF trunk lip spoiler or the CF long tail. With either one, you will be affecting the initial design of downforce in the rear both when the wing is up/down (the long tail will have a higher increase since it sticks out farther/higher) but then again the original design of downforce aerodynamics will be altered by the introduction of other aero bits and/or new suspension components. This will mainly come into play or be more prevalent at higher speeds.

All in all they are both nice but I went with the solid long tail piece for better aesthetics (IMHO). They are both nice additions so you can't go wrong vs. just having the stock spoiler.

Not so sure about the vinyl rear fake vents. I think it makes the rear look too busy and takes away from the visual impact of the front side vents...but if you like them, that is all that matters
