Removed my Carbon Fiber to get repaired and refinished. Cutting it close to the Rosebowl meet Hopefully I get it back Friday and looks better than before. I'm used to seeing my car with the lip it looks funny now with the extra ground clearance. Maybe I'll lower it some more

I was thinking of it but will probably just crack like the one that homeboy on mbklasse had. Don't want to bother with it.

A guy I met who does CF work for a couple of body shops will be refinishing them. He hooked up my brother with a CF front hood for his porsche 996 and it came out pretty sweet. Rolled and finished on both sides. So underside of the hood is just as nice as the outside.

Yea the black grill adds alot

Color match the side marker too or euro strips

I dont think your car NEEDS a spoiler, looks good the way it is. Even w/o models w/ it :P

Thanks! I got the kit for $200 or $300 can't remember. Install was fairly easy, thought it would be more complicated. It really depends on how handy you are. If you have never installed a head unit in a car I wouldn't try to DIY.
