I don't think it would look good wrapped in CF on white but it would be interesting to see a pic lol

I think the CF wraps tend to look a little umm, cheap, on the exterior of the 2IS . I haven't seen an emblem or grille wrapped in it on our cars, but I've seen it on a lot of Tundras for some reason and didn't really like it. But who knows, it's reversible so just try it out!

I had it on my black IS a few months back. I took it off because it did look a bit cheap. Instead, I just Plasti-Dipped it but got tired of that and now I did Dupli-Color's Shadow Chrome thing over it to get a black chrome grille a few weeks ago.

I have mine done and it looks fine. I also took my time and did it properly. I put pics up on a thread somewhere with close ups. It looks good on TP, debating on if it's too ricey or not though.
