My Lightly Customized F-Sport w Carbon Fiber Wrap - Pics
Nice subtle mod without going overboard. The F Sport grille is awesome!

Correct.
Also to note is it is the "dry" version which means you don't have to wet the surface you apply it on to install it.
Basically, the wrap has near microscopic pin-sized holes every couple mm apart to prevent any air bubbles from being trapped as you squeegee it during installation. Standard wrap you need to wet it much like applying window tint - can be very tricky and prone to air bubbles/creases especially on curves like the front bumper and mirrors. BTW, I'm no expert at wrap installation - I just did my first attempt with standard wrap bought at Canadian Tire and it came out really bad (creases, bubbles), then found the dry wrap at a local car tuner shop for 40$ for 10 sq ft (I only needed less than half of that but bought extra for "insurance" purposes).

I like the mods. It would be interesting to see what the recessed back area surrounding the license plate would look like in CF. That might make more sense than the logo. I own a Roland graphics printer that can cut vinyl graphics patterns that I create in Adobe Illustrator. Did you create your patterns digitally and then precision cut them in a printer/cutter or did you cut the patterns freehand? I've consider making a few custom items for my car, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks all for the positive feedback. You got that my intent with the mods which was to give it a factory look but bring it to a level that truly highlights the F-Sport line, especially at the front to accentuate the bold spindle grille.
Today, I got my F-Sport emblem and added it to the rear to complete the look.
