well, imo, i think matte black enterior vinyl is cool on certain cars, sometimes. There's a member on here from FL with vinyl-wrapped SC. its looks neat. Titan has a new Benz that's wraped and it looks SICK.
but i would not so the CF-look vinyl on the exterior.
and i hope you're ready to shell out some serious BREAD. Vinyl wrap professioanlly done right can cost just about as much as a new paint job these days.

These are more recent pics of my car as of 4/14/10. I picked up my car from the mechanic shop today & it seems to be running much better. The main culprit was the engine computer & a bad engine harness. Knock on wood...
I hope nothing comes up to be a problem later on.
These are interior shots of the new auto shifter.
And these are exterior shots with the 97+ body kit
I'm very pleased with the body work, the only thing that lets my car down are these stock wheels lol. There will be more mods to come later.

I'm still debating over which wheels. Here in NY you need some tough wheels to battle those potholes. I'm not the biggest fan of chrome wheels for that same reason.

If I don't get these I'll just use the G35 wheels
And no that wasn't me on the LIE.
I apologize to the owner for using his/her car as a demo,

Update...
So I'm cleaning my car and I notice water leaking from the right rear of the car...
It didn't bother me but as I took my car for a test run, it was dripping on the mufflers causing them to smoke. I drove back home & removed all the inner trunk upholstery & BAM a puddle...
I check the usual suspects... bad rubbers, lousy trunk alignment, you know things like that, & they seem fine
The only thing thats in question is the taillights. their gaskets seem to be perished.
Could this be the problem ?

What is this in the right rear of the trunk ???
This may have been asked before but what is this in the trunk (besides the rust)
I just seen this today and I really don't know what it is;
also I have to buy another amp. The water has been pounding it & of course my radio doesn't play
Ah well...
Heres another shot of those lovely stock wheels
I really have to get another set.
