DAMN the CF looks sick... The ony wierd thing about that is the direction of the CF weve behind the emblem doesn't match the CF hood. Sexay none the less.

Can't wait to contribute.

No, it's 2x2 weave just like the hood, it's just the angle the light is hitting it in the pic, believe me, I'm so OCD that if it didn't go the same way it wouldn't be on my car

Sticker? It's no sticker it's real 2x2 weave CF that is resined and clear coated, custom cut to fit, there is no adhesive involved

Made it myself with some scissors and a dremel, and the carbon fiber sheet, I think I paid $80 for the sheet, but I still have quite a bit left. It's screwed into the grill

I made it the night before our meet

Yeah, the the arms and the grill needs to be repainted now, it's all chipped. The pic is old, back when I was on the pro-kit. I'm waiting until it warms up. Tires are stock specs except they're a bit wider. If I can get the wheels I want, I'll be going with something thinner, but no less than 45. I don't like the way rubber bands look.

I kinda like this one, it's subtle. I was thinking about color matching my chrome ring(edge), but that there isn't bad and a hell of a lot easier than matching my paint. but wipers man. wipers were the first thing I did to my CL. Took all of 15min.

It's surprising how much just painting the arms can freshen up the car.
