KB, that looks like SG valley, are you around the area? I know there's a Sierra Acura in Alhambra. I've always wanted a roof wrap but was too lazy to research a reputable shop. Could you refer me to yours?
EDIT: Oh, and where did you get your headlights cleared? And is it a good idea to go to the dealer to install springs and wheels?

Is the 3M 1080 Carbon vinyl the glossy look version? If so ya I have those too and looks pretty realistic.
Yes I live in SG area.
PM me so I can give you the info on the roof top.
We actually finished matte black the top and all the chrome trim from another 4G white TL over the weekend.
I have not gotten my headlamp cleared yet. But ya PM me on that too if you are not a DIYer. I know a shop does headlamp retrofit and clearing.
If you go to dealer install springs and wheel, they will charge you an arm and a leg and some dealer will void the warranty. Depending on which dealer.
There is a shop I also goes to in SG area and it is call Impex Motorsports.
Again just PM me and I give you all the info.

KB1, in the lower right hand corner of each post there is an icon (the middle one) that allows you to reply to multiple people in single reply.
Be sure to give it a try!
Cheers....

I break apart the signal panel. Then dissemble the circuit board. Installed a set of white bright LED strip which is cut able and tap onto the +/-. Then on top of the signal panel, I put 2 layers of yellow transparent film. Then glue everything back and plug everything back on. I have to use 2 layer because it will be more greenish/yellow. 2 layers will be JDM yellow looks.
The matte film was a prototype film I got from China and testing them out. I am in the process of having them make a lighter version of the matte black transparent film.

I love your car!!! nice progress so far! However, this is what i think:
1. You should have used CF on the front grille (upper grille) instead.
2. You shouldn't have touched the bottom grilles at all, just to make a nice contrast with the upper grille.
3. Remove the CF on the rear lip spoiler.
ohter than that nicely done. BTW just my humble opinion

Dont worry...I have something up my sleeve for the front grille and rear spoiler. Teaser..."RCF".......kee kee kee
When you meant the bottom grille...meaning the foglight area? I just didn't want any chrome standing out so I matte blacked almost anything that has chrome.

Stay with the Carbon Fiber. Don't get too many textures going at once. Stay with your Carbon Fiber theme.

WOW! I am not usually a fan of mods but yours looks spectacular! It looks like a factory option, just like the "sports package" offered by BMW on their cars! Very nice indeed.
