What do you think about doing the Carbon Fiber on the plastic where the fog lights are?

If you have modulo bumpers, I suggest fog lights and plastic part of rear bumper above exhaust tips. It really depends from you. Some people will never use carbon vinyl, many accept it inside the car (me), others will vinyl front mask, and total idiots would 3M carbon entire car

the vinyl wrap does feel real. no one is going to make a CF center console. you could do the dip thing

yeah thats fine and would be great!

I've heard it wasn't that white in the day so thats why i wanted to see how it was...might just go with the yellow bulbs if the arctic withes aren't white enough.

took killerg's advice and swap out the blue courtesy lights to white, and left my underdash blue. looks good, much more classy!

snap a few crappy iphone pics real quick, dont have camera untill feb

courtesy lights by itself:


with underdash leds:
