did you try photoshop it before?
It's completely grown me now. Once you see the 'white' A-Pillar after havng it black, you can't unsee it. I will never go back. Loving this look!

I would even suggest blacking out the lower part of the side mirrors.
It's on the list. I am doing the front rear spoilers, side skirts + rear wing (very low profile for aesthetics) all in CF using Rowen parts. At that time, I'll also do the mirror covers in CF. Another $10-15K project happening all at once this year (including new exhausts). Since there is no valve controller available for the 24 models, I've decided to upgrade the exahusts as well When all said and done, It will look awesome. Should be pretty dialed in at that point.

Loving the CF headlight piece. It really adds to the look. Looking at the prior photos of the frontal, that small white piece really doesn't belong. This makes the headslighs appear to be much larger and prominant. As stated above, I really think that this makes the headlights much more proportional to the large front grill. I love it!

Will do the same on the existing 718 Spyder in Matt black. 718 Spyder RS in red (inbound) will come with matt a-pillar wraps applied from the factory.

I think the fact you have tints make it flow a bit more, despite having the blue top (which I love).

Otherwise I would pass on it, but in your case, I dig it, it did grow on me.
