Looks great Mike!

You need a CF grille. I just wrapped mine but haven't installed it yet.

How long did it take to install?

Thanks...
I had 2 guys over and took less than an hour... the fine tuning of the 2 latches took the longest.

Yeah, I want the CF grille, but just can't get myself willing to pay $1000 for it I know it isn't easy to CF wrap it but a grand is a bit ridiculous. I rather use the extra $ for performance upgrade next... CF grille can wait.

I agree... but as said, I will wait it out a bit to see if the price of the CF grille will eventually drop (or some other companies would make one for cheap). I would rather have the 'real' CF grille than paint or plasti-dip to match the rest of the car.

Who needs a Black Series when there's a car that looks like that?!

Awesome looking.

The latches are a pain to align. I still need to adjust mine properly.

I wrapped the chrome trim of a second grille in CF and the star in gloss
black and it came out pretty good. Just haven't installed it yet.

Your car looks absolutely stunning in the pictures. Must look better
in person.

Astonishing photoshop skills on that license plate haha

The hood looks great. As the others said, do something with the grill - either gloss black or full CF.

I have to say thats what the hood should have looked like from the factory, or at least an option.
