Spending small money to avoid having enough to spend big money on actual upgrades.

The carbon parts are made in china so who knows how uniform the weave will be. Or how well the clips etc will line up.

Got it in matter carbon finish. If it looks good I may get some more done in matte.

though i can't vouch as it will be 6 weeks or so before it arrives for inspection.

It does look pretty decent tho:

Getting pretty discouraged about modifications tho. Apparently in Ontario basically every insurance agency has a clause that if you don't disclose your modifications they can deny your claim. And if you do disclose your modifications 99.9999% of companies will not insure you.

And it's not that they will not cover $$ for the modifications. They can flat out deny any claim and then drop you from insurance forever. Having your insurance cancelled has to be disclosed to your next insurance provider preventing you from getting decent insurance.

The Insurance Dilemma with Modified Cars

From what I can tell everyone just lies to insurance and hope they get away with it. Hiding mods from insurance doesn't seem that hard unless someone rams your from behind totalling the car and the insurance agency has to send someone out to check it.

Which is really unfortunate because for me, the process of customization and upgrading over time is really the fun part. Not actually having the fast car.
