Nicely done. The side profile almost looks the same as my IS-F. What rims did you end up getting? I might change my rims to matte too.

Can you wash the car.


Please dont make the headlight black.. thats just gonna make the car over done and then tacky. but I love it tho ! Can you wash the car with no issue ?

Tints and black housing should fit the car well.

Looking forward to it! I agree with one of the other posters about just doing the tail lights though.

Any plans on a full tint or different shoes? Just curious.

I have my eye on the 20" 360 forged concave mesh in matte with some fat tires. XD

It should look pretty sweet.

Looks really good. Personally, I think black rims will just mute the car too much. You can't really tell the details of the wheels unless you check it out up close.

Bronze wheels might change the overall look of the car. With a proper drop, I think it'll stand out more. Here're a few pics of one of the 2IS members who had a matte black paint with bronze wheels.

To the OP, if you're happy with how it looks that all that matters.




There are a whole bunch of other people in this thread that should remember...."if you don't have somthing nice to say...."

By the same token, if your skin isn't thick enough to take the criticism, don't start a thread on it. As long as the comments are expressing an opinion in a civil way, they're not going to be moderated.

its rated for 5 years out doors, but i put a layer of aerospace protection spay, like wax, once a month so itll last forever..i use johnson and johnson baby wash, the no tears kind, no need for other car wash formulas cuz the vinyl is like Teflon, nothing sticks on it

Is the vinyl black or is it a transparent matte finish over the black car and the original paint showing through?

Looks nice, I'm in the camp of losing the CF on the gas door too. I like the little bit of shine on the wheels and light lenses.

I don't recommend paint tinting the lenses, go with vinyl covers, more consistent coverage and reversible. http://www.lamin-x.com/

I'm surprised no one suggested "frosting" the tails instead of tinting to keep with the "matte" look.

I like the wrap, looks clean.
