Default My "Crafted Line" w/ a CF twist!

Hey all, just wanted to post up on my ride. Been busy the last two weeks since I picked it up.

Picked up this 2014 F-sport Ultra White on the 19th:





It was a one owner off lease so the car is 100% stock on pickup.

Since pickup I've set off to set up my own "crafted line" look for this car, which includes the following wraps:
- Gloss Black Mirrors w/ Carbon Fiber base/pillars
- Carbon Fiber Roof w/ Gloss Black shark fin
- Carbon Fiber spoiler
- Carbon Fiber door handles (the shamrock PPF will be removed next week when the car is Opti-Coated)
- Gloss Black grill trim (chrome delete)
- 30% smoke on front "L" emblem
- Carbon fiber front bumper insert (unfortunately the insert had to be shortened by 1/16 of an inch on each side due to poor repaint job by Lexus on lease trade-in, that's why it looks a little 'off')
- Gloss Black Rear Emblem w/ debadged GS350
- Gloss Black rear trunk lid trim (chrome delete)
- 30% smoke on rear tail lights w/ red turn signal overlay before smoke
- 15% smoke on rear reflectors
- Gloss Black painted exhaust cutouts
- Debating if I should wrap the fuel door in CF? I feel like it's a cheesy look and not necessary but part of me wants to just do it. Thoughts?

Pics, up next - Opti Coat Pro+ on Tuesday!

I wouldn't wrap the fuel filler door in carbon fibre, personally.

Yeah the more I consider it the worse I think the idea is. It's really not needed and actually I do think it's tacky/cheesy.
