Where does that carbon center piece go on the car? Please post a full picture of it.

As far as the tint goes........it's your car do what you want or like. If you live in a place that gets hot and you want to keep the car and yourself cooler you should get it.

Fogs look great, I just got 5000K HID's and I love the look.

The carbon piece goes between the rear seats. That's too bad that's it's all messed up, I know a lot of people were not very happy with Carbon1 taking months to get that piece out.

As for tint, absolutely!

I got some good pieces from John too, but the wait time was almost unbearable.

Fogs look great, nice choice

I'm happy to hear you finally received the Carbon 1 center piece, I know it's been a while coming, however to receive it damaged is inexcusable, especially with how long it's taken to get to you to begin with
