Yeah it's a carbon fiber wrap at bottom of front and back.
I'm not all the way blacked out (like the trim around windows, grill, badges, led's, etc.) so I kept it just to the valences. Not a big fan of black emblems. Also the rear top skid plate on the rear bumper would become scratched up so kept it chrome and was stuck in thr Dilemma of what to wrap. We'll see

Love the wraps looking nice and clean. Too bad I went with Plasti dipp and it started to peal off after 2 weeks.

Here are some pics, I also dipped the rims but took it off after 2 weeks, I prefer the stock look.











I will do the warping soon.

That looks pretty cool on white. Mine is looking pretty sad with all the snow we've had.
