Default Some pix of minor cosmetic upgrades on the F!

Well I finally managed to find some decently priced black pearl emblems for my F. I can provide more info via PM, if anyone is interested, but I managed to find a good guy on yep....wait for it....ebay! And the adhesive on the back is OEM also, not thick like the aftermarket ones. Take a look at my pics and let me know if you can tell the difference between mine and the ones the stealership charges for. In addition to my black pearl emblems, I added the black pearl matching grill and also blacked out my window trim (which tested my patience) and got a pair of carbon fiber tips. Onto the pix............











Excuse the dirty car...she needs a good wash!

I know, its not my F...but pops just picked this up couple days ago, rides so smoooooth!

Hey andrew, I did it myself! Pain in the *** man, takes a lot of patience and experience with a blow dryer, which I did not have!

Maybe trade her in for dare I say an M, in the near future? Only time can tell...

I don't even consider these mods, since they are so subtle, I am trying to modify the F the way I think in my opinion the car should have came from the factory. There is honestly way too many people on here trying to change an already pretty damn good car from the factory into a modified ISx50 looking downgrade (with no offense to the ISx50 owners).
