Thanks for the comments. I uses to have a carbon wrapped roof, but a detailer scratched it up. I plan on replacing it. The pics were from my phone. In person it looks a lot better. I'm in North Dallas.

First, the car does flow. Black center on white cars looks nice. I'd add a black roof to nail the flow but it still looks nice. It's the lips of the wheels that create most of the fade-out effect. Black lips distort the image, unless you're right up next to the car. If that's cool then good. For me, since the lips have already been painted, I would just add a white stripe on the rim of the lip and that will bring the wheels out of hiding.

Still a nice car though.
I think its just the quality of the camera. White strip would make it look cheap.

What did you use to black out your rear deflectors?

Sorry I haven't been on in a bit. Wife health issues. On the Wheels. They are 19x8.5 +43 & 19x9.5 +45. The Pocky moon cakes live on, LOL. They were powder coated Jet Fighter Flat Black. When I had nitto invoin rear, no rubbing, with the PS2s, slight rub on big bumps. I since had rear lip rolled. No rubbing what so ever, even on big bumps with people in back. Rear reflectors are Aerotect I believe. All the rear lights were aerotect at one time.

On the original headlights I was getting some moisture in them. I took it off and noticed one of the brackets broke off and left a hole. So I ordered a used pair of headlights from member section. I then had them sent over to a member of the vendor section and he painted them. I swapped over the ballast and installed.

That is a S4play rear diffuser. I had the carbon wrap installed in that bumper section when I used to have my roof wrapped. I plan on getting the roof and grill wrapped after I get the ISSForged scoops. My interior pieces are also carbon wrapped. I wish they had the wet look wrap out when I got mine done. I think it looks better.

I also have a small system in back with 2 Type-R 10's and Alpine amp in a custom fit enclosure.

Thanks again for all the responses........I will have to get better pics with better lighting. I will have to dust off the D90 I guess. LOL!
