too much CF on a silver car, but looks like the fitment is pretty good. may or may not get it. need to see how it is on phil's.

TW has a lot of good stuff. the plate holder i just searched around is NT4500=$145USD. CF interior kit for 01-04 in either silver or black are around $700-800USD.

In essence, just undo the upper trunk lining, all the pullpins.. and then undo all the pullpins for the plate holder and it'll fall right out.

Rear and roof spoiler fitments look good.

Did you buy them from Ebay or Taiwan as well?

I love it, even on silver. Maybe you should consider 86ing the chrome bumper molding.
