I always enjoyed the "wet" look. Love the Carbon Fiber roof.

Hmm, I'm trying to choose my words carefully here. I'm not saying it looks bad, but compared to the overall shine of the car, the carbon fiber roof looks very dull in comparison and takes something away from the overall look. I think if that overlay had more of a shine to it, it would look a lot better. I really like the taillights though. I think they look pretty sweet.

I'm in the electrical union here in CT so last year I worked for 2 different companies and I'm waiting on my W2's from them and unemployment so that I can file my taxes. as soon as my refund gets direct deposited into my account ill be heading over to Bruce (Acktl05) who is holding it and a roof spoiler for me

I'm not sure how I feel about it right now, but I am envisioning the end result and I see something spectacular. The a-spec kit is definitely going to help but window tint and new rims (gunmetal or black) will REALLY set the car off.
I am looking forward to seeing where you go with this

Cazio, I have an idea for you. I forgot your grill is wrapped in Carbon Fiber along with the roof. You might consider wrapping the rear trunk spoiler, in order to keep the consistency going.

no, it definitely wouldn't look as good as it does if I did it haha
ill only tell u if u can give me a good deal on a trade and payment for the wheels ur selling lol
that seriously means alot to me man. I searched for a TL this color for a long time and thought alot of the direction I want to take it in. thanks alot
believe me it's been thought of, I'm just really tryin to stay away from a too "raced" out look contrary to the roof being CF wrapped lol. I was afraid even doing the roof but I really liked the good black vinyl roofs and this resembles it until u get right on top of it like the grill. I still may but I'd be a pain to try to do it since I installed the spoiler months before the CF

thanks bro. envision a type-s a-spec kit with roof spoiler and tints in the spring. rims are killing me but I really like the stock type-s wheels but they are so expensive that I may just go aftermarket. but one thing is for sure and that's suspension almost immediately after the kit is installed

Cazio, I've merged your two threads together. Since the new one is basically a continuation of your first one, the two naturally go together.
