Default A couple new (not really) ricer mods

I just got back from vacation so I happened to have my camera with me to take some crappy pics of some semi recent updates on my car. Please excuse the dirty car and crappy pics, heh. HIC roof spoiler... should I paint it white? Bumper cross bar was cf wrapped but the cf isn't very flexible so it's not quite a perfect "fit." Thinking about painting or vinyl wrapping it satin black instead to get it closer to perfect. I also have some new side mirrors that I'm thinking of doing in satin black or cf wrap. I'm definitely keeping the cross section either black or cf, but I'm really stumped whether or not do satin black side mirrors to match or just go the normal route and paint them DWP... opinions? Satin black side mirrors might look too "racey" for my slow *** car but would match the unpainted HIC roof spoiler...

Yeah, I'm leaning towards leaving the visor unpainted. Your car is already the perfect height imo, but I'm guessing it requires some sacrifices, hehe. Man, everyone is getting air these days. So tempting, but the $$$.

visor looks good as is, the cross section don't look bad, painting it might work better.

i'd keep the stock mirrors the way they are.

I'd definitely keep the stock side mirrors the same color as the body, but I'm switching out my stock mirrors for some Ganador aeros. They're pretty small so they'd be almost "invisible" if I painted/wrapped them in satin black. I'm stumped on this one... anyone have any pics of white cars (preferably no cf hood) w/ black or cf side mirrors?

I jut got the same window spoiler and thought I would paint or try to wrap it, but I actually like how it matched my window visors and tint....kinda brought it all together. Your car looks good!!

Rice e Roni!!!
