No problem. Tomorrow

Headlights and powdercoated Rays (black) next.

thanks man! I'm very nervous to do stuff to the headlights but with the cf theme I think you're right. Darkened headlight WILL look pretty good. I would LOVE to powdercoat my RAYS to 40th anniversary rims color

i like the side mirror covers too i just got some last week for my car... except mine only go at the bottom

Dude, that looks good! I think I will look for a nice cf lip now (no hurry though)

jk, looks great man!

lmfao! it's all Tony's fault! EVERY week he goes out and puts something new on his Monterey Blue. Then the idea floats in my head for days!

Probably not this year!

. I bought new tires for the OEM 19" few months back (which will go on this month) and also between HKS exhaust, G3 intake and these cf parts, I'm pushing my yearly "mod budget".

Thanks man. The rear diffuser is DEF on my list (next cf product). It'll complete the look. As for rear spoiler, I think Mines cf lip would look much better (easier to install too) than total cf spoiler, what you think?

Looks good AK. I've been thinking about doing one or all of these on mine, but I can't decide how it would look on Brilliant Silver.

AK, the cf parts, made the Z look a lot cleaner, and will you also be doing the rear valence, and the rear spoiler?
Very Nice Improvements Ak.

Thanks. I'm def doing the rear diffuser. As for rear spoiler, I think Mines rear lip looks great! Only if it was cheaper

!! I may have to wait a little for the rear lip.

Thanks. I think Triple's just painted his front fang. You can kinda get an idea how it'll look (cf will look a little glossy, that's all)

Me? I do nothing of the sort.....ok, well, maybe I do. I've been better about not getting much since I stretched my budget to "OVER THE LIMIT NOW YOU'RE FARKED, S0N!" status!

Looks really good!

Hey, now I gotta put my CF B Pillars on and get some CF mirror covers, too!

Stage 1, eh? What's Stage 2? Any hints?

@ your budget status!

Thanks.

Stage 2 is actually less desirable in my opinion (and it's cheaper). It doesn't cover all the way (only covers painted part) . It leaves the plastic edge open.

I want rear diffuser meow!

EVO-R finally designed a new one......I think they got the hint after 6 different people ran into the same problem and all the photos looked identical......it fit great near the fog light area but as it stretched down and around the rest of the bumper it started to appear you could see the original color of the bumper. It does look pretty sweet!

Oh...and Virginia hates my headlights and rear fog light!

The mine's add-on would look good. Would be funny if you got the CF spoiler and the mine's add-on...lol... maybe Tony will do that.

Thanks. Will do.

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. Unless you sit down and get really close, it's not visible at all. In this pic, I'm actually shooting from an angle (bottom to top) therefore it looks more obvious.
