I like the carbon accents you added, as well as the new steering wheel. I do have to say though, one mod you'll be doing soon is repainting some body panels if you keep parking all douchey. Lots of people aren't keen on that and someone will eventually get ya. Anyway, some decent looking mods. Just don't go too overboard or it'll start to look too gawdy.

Very nice!
CF skirts and splitter are the first major mods to mine as soon as they get here. Who made yours?

Nice, but there's a difference between actual carbon fiber (which you have much of) and hydro-carbon "dyed" parts where they do a faux carbon fiber "paint".

It's like putting a giant sign on your car saying, "Please key me. I park like as ***."

Cartoon, thanks for your concern. I actually do not park that way. If I see a double wide spot, I just pull in to take the picture and then leave.
I won't be going overboard! I'm really done here. I've got one more mod I'll get from Ben at Weapon X very soon. Then I'm done.
That comes from Apsis USA! Call Jersey there and tell him I sent you.
Yes sir-that would be correct........

Those are from GM! You can get them anywhere!
Thanks Dunga. All of it came from Apsis USA (on the interior).
