I actually didn't realize you had those, I just looked closer at your pics and noticed that. What you did the rear spoiler is very cool! That's the problem with using an iPhone to look at this stuff. 
In that case, they will probably look good in carbon, at least the splash guards. The brake ducts are tough, you have to get the real replacement ones and not those covers I see at car shows with the hug gaps. 
I also think there is a way to install the covers, but install them flush by actually replacing the outer part of the ducts, remember seeing a post about that once.

Looking around folks are very proud of their carbon pieces(pricey) but the good stuff looks great! I'll check in with you if and when I am about to make a move
I'll keep an eye out for that tracking number too

Rear wheel is 20 x 13, don't know backspace-Ordered the wheels back in '07 to fit 2 inch flare but the came a bit too positive. So I finally got new flares made to tuck them. I literally went in the garage and with the car sitting on the floor tried to measure and guesstimate how much more flare I needed.
Told Sue I needed 3-1/4 and when they ran the molds it only took a week for them to have them done. They were at my house within two weeks after payment.Rear tires are 345/25/20
Longer rear bolts till late winter. Just wanted to get her back on the road for some low speed cruising before storage
I have gotten very good and grade analyzation on approach
It's like being trapped in a game of frogger or something until I install coil oversThanks again for the compliments LSO

My buddy Nick(b16gsr)dropped me off at the shop day before yesterday so I could pick her up and as soon as I got home I had to bust out the stripes from Mike(vettestripes)and get to work on the hood. New(to me)hood fixed after a beating during delivery, new quarters(L-5's)and Pete's(QuikZ06) C-spoiler... After I get my new exhaust lined up and welded properly I am done til late winter. Per my at home authority Just glad to get some seat time in finally. Though times almost up.

Hey tbrent! Where abouts are you located? Was that first pic taken at Unity Village? I got married there!! I am in Lees Summit..think I may have talked to you over the past couple years on this forum. Have kept an eye out for your car..she's a beaut!! Can't remember ever seeing it out and about. Just touchin base!!
I tried my first LT install and LG exhausts.. Need to find a good welder... Before that and the paint work I haven't had her out since last year
I am over close to Lakewood... Been up and down 291 lots the last couple weeks! Gimmie a shout if you get out and about. If not this season, then coming up for sure
Are you more inside of Lee's Summit? Thanks for the love buddyOh yeah, the first pic sure was at Unity Village just thought it would be a cool pic even though I'm rockin the camera phone
Definitely would be a gorgeous venue for a wedding ceremony!

I actually assumed you bought yours already shaved. Sean did a jam up job
