Thanks for all the kind words. I have had more parking lot conversations regarding the car in the last two weeks than the previous two years. Something about carbon fiber catches attention I guess.

The wheels are indeed oem painted gloss black /time attack with Star Spec's 245/265 and a 1.5 " drop on H&R springs.

How did you manage to have a carbon finish around the grill? (on the bumper)

IMO only answer could be a full CF front bumper

Can't agree more!
Can you tell me whether the red pin stripe is sticker or real paint?

The area surrounding the grill was wrapped after painting. I would have ordered a full carbon piece but this one was in stock and time was an issue with the hood on the way. The inlaid carbon on the lip and vents really looks amazing in person as if it was designed that way rather than modified.

On the wheels? If so it is red paint.

Just curious, where or from whom would you order a full carbon piece that surrounding the grill?
Moreover, who wrapped the surrounding piece for you, if you don't mind sharing the information... because I think it looks amazing, almost like I need to do it for the cf line to flow nicely with the hood. TIA.
