Should have mine today or tomorrow, there was a slight delay in time I paid to when it shipped...but if the color is more blue, I'll be happy!

Well Jay, you can certainly sell those and buy the entire set of USR's for that price.

My thought exactly! I am positive I will have no issues selling em later ebing I paid $70.00 shipped for em OEM 2MO old MINT! But for now...I will keep em and stay with the clean OEM hardware. My main reason wanting them was to get the rear smoked instead of the red lense and 2nd get rid of that dam tinted lense to hide the red lense...lol

Like a REAL carbon fiber Aspec lip!?!? Or wrapping it?
Nice...

BUT, you shoulda learned your lesson from your hood experience...doesn't look that clean to mix and match! I might change my mind after seeing it though. PS...what's the dilly with wheels, no bites?

Also, got the USR's last night and tried them out, color is a little more bluish than before, as Anil described. To me, the blinking ability and everything is perfect.

Yeah...possibly the real deal fiber front add on aspec lip and rear trunk duck bill lip. I felt maybe the hood was just TOO MUCH and stood out gawdy...But a subtle touch and small accessory add on or trim would probably be HAWTNESS! But that would be from KB1Spec later on. I bought something different from UNIQUE. U will see! Small touch but yet cool U know how I am always trying something different with success on everything but the hood and even that, I think it would have been a HIT! if it didn't need so much work and it was better cf condition and appearance. Hmmm maybe part2 Brand New cf hood this time...lol

If I do get those side markers down the road...The "Blinking" ability is what sells me on the thought... Post pics and vid in your progress thread to show the end result. NICE!

umm 385 shipped is what he quoted for the spoiler in real CF !!!

not too bad if you ask me, considering the OEM spoilers go for 300+....if we do a GB and get 10% off, you looking at something around 330-350 range shipped

Don't get me wrong...It custom made pcs also...IMO it maybe worth it since it would seperate the boys from the men in a small design/add on. But just needing to get somethings squared away before nuttin up. He also gave me a discount if I did buy BOTH items. So that was cool also

Just arrived

USR's "REAL" CF Emblem kit: Trunk, Grille & Bumper filler.



If anyone has this kit, post a pic. I would like to see a close up shot of the final appearance when installed. Kit looks freakin AWESOME! I can't wait to install it.

Nice CF inserts....don't think I could pull that off on WDP though. The rear emblem would probably look odd from a distance.

not so sure about the "A" inserts...and $70 seems like a high price for that stuff.

nonetheless, lets see some installed pics!

Name one thing that is custom made or cut made from real carbon fiber considered cheap... ...exactly my point. So something so specific in its make, $70 isn't so bad. But like you said, we will just have to see what kind of eye candy it brings to the table

Thanks! Most of all are the emblems. I can't believe how perfect the edging fit. The emblem inserts look as if I bought a entire emblem one pc replacing the stock ones. U can't tell at all they are inserts. Look AMAZING!

^^^ Indeed....swoosh and I were talking about this today. One question though....does the Carbon Fiber for the front logo fit to the back or is it flush with the actual logo itself? I ask because I've got an Amp'd Emblem logo on the front and don't want it to sit flush with the logo and mess up the Amp'd Emblem glow.


And can you buy just the front logo? I'm guessing it all comes as a front/back/logo set.

Wow...they look great...I couldn't get em cause I'm getting the awesome Domed Decalz insert for the bumper...AND the inserts I can guarantee will cover up the amp'd emblem glow.

BUT, that said...car looks great.

Hey Jay...was your front bumper repainted!?!? The orange peel seems intense on that insert picture...
