The exposed CF hood stinger really pops on red... Nice!

I have the factory carbon fiber dash as well and I really like your carbon fiber center console. Can you tell me some more information about it like how much was it, how hard was it to install, and where did you get it from?

Another mod off the list. The winglets for my front splitter came in tonight.

Link for purchasing the rim guards?

Don't be lazy I already told you what they're called, search google. They're not a forum vendor.

Another mod off the list, well a mod of a mod.

Added some red pin stripping. It turned out very subtle, just how I wanted. I think it adds a nice touch without going tacky.

I looked at those but I don't like how wide the stripe is, plus it sticks out quite a bit and looks silly from a lot of angles other than straight on. They are more ricer than the wheel bands imho.

Quality wise I doubt there is much of a difference to be honest, the wheel bands actually looked to be better quality to me.
