Here is some photos of my car after 3 days of owning it. I added tint, 18" rims with 225x45x18, new grill, smoked side markers, clear led mirror turn signals, and I wrapped all the interior wood pieces with 3M DI NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl Film.

Hey, can I see what you did with the sliding wood trim that reveals the cup holder? Or did you leave it alone?
I like it a lot. Just get a flat badge, and you're golden!

I didnt realize not having a flat badget was such a no-no
I just ordered one, so that will be fixed asap!
I didnt do anything with the sliding door yet, we couldn't figure out how to remove the cigarette power / little vent thing. I figured once that piece was removed, the door would slide out all the way, but we couldnt figure out how to remove it. I am going to cover that in the carbon fiber as well, then cut the slits in it so it can curl away when you open it. If it looks stupid, Ill paint it black or something. Do you know how to remove the piece blocking the door?

Can you post some more pics of your car please. I just painted my grill too. I want to see how the looks when you are done. I was thinking of doing the same thing.
