I don't like that look, no offense, looks un finished. I'm thinking hood and trunk carbon fiber and roof glossy black would look good. Dark tint.

Heres a video of Rob's car he had the trunk done as well and the faces on his wheels where CF. Either way just do what you feel looks good because no matter what some people will like & some wont.

Me too, thats why it gets washed 3-4 times a week! As far as water in the engine bay, the only thing i see a potential problem that is exposed is the battery and not really even!

DON't GET ME STARTED!

I bought my car 3 weeks ago and only planned on tinting the windows. Now I have wheels, tires, lugs, camber kit, roof spoiler, springs, valve stems, tail light red out, intake, exhaust, caliper paint, license plate frame and an illest decal sitting in my guest bedroom ready to install!

Ok, I'll throw in a CF license plate frame! I just don't like the look of a white car with carbon fiber lips.

If you have a front and rear lip, do you need side skirts? Would it look weird? It looks like the side skirts just add a little flare.
