Thanks I know I am really liking how the CF parts stand out from the Red body so far so happy
Thank you kind sir
appreciate the kind words from dubai
I applied the rear and front using some 3M double stick outdoor grey tape. The tape is maybe 1/8" thick so it did leave a small visible gap in which if you looked close enough you could see the double sided tape. Me being the handy man that I am got some black caulking and caulked this gap to hide the small visible area of double stick tape.
Here is a picture showing how I did it. Luckily the Arkym parts are formed very nicely and all under body attachment points were spot on and the curves are very closely matched to the car making it a great fitment.
this pic is even closer showing the small line of black caulking I did. I used to do flooring and baseboards and my caulking gun was my best friend so I am a master of smooth caulk lines LMAO!!! that sounds nasty but it's true! If you don't do this part then yes it will look a little unfinished upon close inspection seeing double sided tape is not good.

the front grill is a c-mod grill basically (ebay) but it actually has good fitment and the price was right compared to the other JDM stuff that takes for ever to get and cost a left nut!
