HAHA! I will not allow anything Hello Kitty within 5000 miles of my car!

PushinLEX, I didn't take any photos that far away since I wasn't able to capture the carbon fiber weave. I'll try to snap up some shots this weekend in the sun, but I'm expecting the pillars just to look glossy black from that distance.

Pillars look great. I ordered mine about a week after getting my car back in March. It's a great accent piece for any car, especially the ISF.

The tint is coming. I just need to reschedule with my tint guy. I wish that I could change everything in this car to carbon fiber. HAHA

How about some Buick vents to compliment the car! Just came across this today and had to do a double take.

Found this on cars.com and they asking price is $58,988 with almost 4k miles.

I got 35% all around. It's sexy having everything dark. Here's a straight on shot of my supercharged high output ultra turbo boost emblem insert.

I could use a 'boost' too...Is it one of a kind or available?????

35% is what I'd get here too.....It's the legal limit and wouldn't want to go darker anyway......

Cheers
