Nice man! I like the 3m products nice for sure! I was guna go with the brushed black metal but I figured I'd try something bold

On another note do u guys think doing the mirrors in matching brushed silver would work? Or should I do some rear carbon fiber mirrors?

I'm pretty sure his comment doesn't count and you only have positive comments so far

I think it looks great. It's cool to see that you did something different then the traditional C.F. or flat black.

What if I said your car looks like Shakira's ***? Would that be positive or negative? lol

Ha, that would absolutly be positive. Can this be a new rule?

Specifying the *** can be perceived as a positive comment based on the quality of the ***.
or
Generally looking like *** is considered negative.

I would not do the mirrors as in my opinion, it is tastefully done, adds just the right amount of interest to set it off. If it were more subtle, then I think mirrors would look nice but it looks great just the way you have it.

Sorry bruh, I really don't like it The different color roof to the different color roof spoiler just looks blah. I like different but not this time.

Kinda reminds me of those new cars sitting in a dealership lot that have the sun protective hood/roof/trunk wraps

That 599 looks sick though. If we had lines that cut off from the pillars/body like that then it'd prob look good.

^ I understand it is different looking and not everyone will like it. I figured try it out see the responses I get and go from there it's a cheap mod relative to all the others so it's not too hurtful pulling it off down the line. In person I think it has a better look the camera just doesn't capture the textured brushed look.

Scrolling down the pics... At first I thought it was truly awful but by the end I really liked it. It fits your car really well. On just a stock car it wouldn't look good though.
