It's a full wrap, satin black. These pictures don't do it justice.

new real CF plate frame a month back and have CF emblem inserts on the way. Frame was $100, but when I read that it was real CF and hid all of the screws and mounting hardware, had a screen for the plate to keep it clean , and was designed to easily come off with a special tool for registration stick application I figured why not. Didnt think so much thought could go into a license plate frame. LOL......or cost.

I know buddy. After my last 3 cars that I probably dumped 25k into modding, wheels, tires, parts, and labor...... a 100 bucks on a plate frame seems like my style. I am loving the reliability and headache free motoring and IRA is growing like a ****.

Honestly I get more pleasure in looking at those track day pics framed on my wall than modding my car nowadays. Modding myself. I lift 7 days a week. Arms are already 19" !!

Well it feels a lot tighter in the back. I really noticed it when in manual/sport mode when i am just cruising and when I shift it around 4k rpm. The shifts feel more solid. The best way I can describe it is, the rear suspension felt squishy before. Now I can actually feel the suspension work. It seems like it reacts faster when put under a heavy load. You gotta understand too, i did similar to my foxbody mustang (I know comparing a beer can to a wine bottle) but with full suspension the mustang works so well. The same can be said with this car. I will be eventually getting the rest of Mikes suspension as time goes by. Mike is very knowledgeable and helped me along every step when I needed it, he is good people and makes an outstanding product.

The FIGS Essential Kit gave you 10.8lbs saving compared to the OEM parts when replaced?
