i believe that the trd carbon fiber "style" if fake carbon. if that is the case then i say a definite no. if it is real carbon then yes but only if you have other parts (ie hood, etc) that are carbon fiber. if that is the only piece thst is carbon it wont flow imho

98-00 is Diamond White Pearl(051), 01-05 is Crystal White(062)

00-01 is kind of the mid cycle facelift, some cars might have a different paint color than the year specified on the car. Check on your door sill sticker to make sure of your paint code.

Actually 98-99 is DWP and 00-05 is CW. It's weird like that.
