Default CF mirror covers installled and Spoiler Wrapped!!!

Finally put the CF mirror covers on and wrapped my rear spoiler this weekend. Spoiler not perfect but will do for now, until I get an actual CF spoiler. Many pics below:

Hi.

Spoiler, mirrors, door handles all work well. What a sleek, clean look.

Are you going to wrap your roof too?

Thanks! I'm getting my roof wrapped black once I tint the windows. The black will tie in with the black painted mid section of the grill. I think I'm done with the CF as I don't want to over do it.

No my car is a lux model but did an F Sport Exterior conversion when I got that car - I liked the lux spoiler better so I kept that. Now I have an F Sport exterior and Luxury interior haha.

Nice touches! On the fence with the white mirror base though might look better black?

That's a good look, I would go ahead and wrap the base also, in either the CF, or gloss black. I see what your dilemma is lol, but either she looking fire

Thanks, trying to catch up to you!!! Long way to go though lol. I am wrapping the base of the mirrors black, I was just being impatient and wanted to go ahead and put the covers on. Yeah it looks incomplete without the bases wrapped.

Got the covers on Ebay. They don't have these exact ones on there anymore but I saw a few more that were less expensive and look just like mine. They probably are the same ones lol.

Thanks bro and yeah I'm gonna wrap the base black, I'm done with the CF lol. I was being impatient and wanted to go ahead and put the covers on while it was a warm day. Hopefully I'll get some coils before summer so I can drop her...that wheel gap is depressing!

What kind and size on the wheels and tires and do they rub? I want to go with staggered tires on my Lux as well.

The wheels are Niche Targa Anthracite wheels and are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 back with a +35 offset all the way around. As for tires, I have Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum -
245/40ZR19 all the way around (back are a little stretched but really can't tell). Once I get new tires (won't be Kumho) I'll probably do 255 in the back so there's no tire stretch, can't go too wide as it is AWD. I'm not lowered yet and there is no rub. Once I lower it I'll do a lower profile in the front with the matching rear allowable. The front is just barely getting away with not rubbing currently. Just be careful and do your research when it comes to a staggered setup on an AWD (i.e. wheels and tires must still have same rotlling diameter front and back)...don't want any issues with the transmission later on down the line.
