Is that the trunk badge from JBSpeed on your steering wheel? Your car looks great! It's a lot of CF, but it blends well. I'd CF the silver bits of the interior next. I'd watch the trunk spoiler, it looks to be starting to come up on the sides.

Spoiler is going to be taken off when somebody decides to buy it. I want a carbon fiber one and paint it red with just the top lip left carbon.
The emblem is from eBay. It was for the trunk but they sent the wrong size

Your car is requesting you do something about the left mirror turn signal.
Are you sure about the badge on the steering wheel? It looks like it could become dangerous projectile if the airbag deployed. I guess a real enthusiast wouldn't mind to have a badge like that permanently ingrained into his/her forehead, though.

One day I will also own a cop-bait colored car.
Red and Black (carbon is dark enough too)
Suuuuper clean.
I love the red grille match, and how the rear lights blend into the car and the tinted bits.
But also +1 on not feeling the carbon steering wheel.
It's... kinda' out of place, and I don't think carbon splinters feel that good
But then again, how safe is that plastic / metal emblem we have OEM anyways
Nice Car
EDIT: Window Visors! Would look better if they were tinted more =/
I might tint my or spray it when I get them =D

The OEM emblem on the wheel is smaller and the wheel splits cleanly around the emblem. His emblem is larger than the OEM and not attached with the same care or attention to where the steering wheel is made to split open - thus becoming a projectile.

nice car.
the rear trunk insert is cool. I bought one and had to give it up b/c it was just overlayed on the euro trunk insert (which I didn't have).
however, the fitment of your spoiler is pretty bad, I think it may not have been installed correctly. I'm not feeling the steering wheel emblem, but to each his own. and the tires are craaaaaazy stretched!

I would do the whole taillight (tint) especially with a carbon rear diffuser and a carbon wing. But I wont do it too dark just a little and then it's all good in the neighborhood.
