My favorite picture from the event! If only Tim made it in this shot!

 

I still have to go get quoted before I make up my mind. I am kinda torn because I have the blacked out grills in front and a few other black accents, but I also have carbon fiber accents such as the mirrors, pillars, rear emblem, hood struts, etc. I've tried to keep it subtle, but I really do like the look of carbon fiber. I don't do carbon fiber just for the sake of it, but I love it as an accent. I think the roof would look killer and unique for sure.

I am not sure on the EXACT difference in price yet, but I believe I am going to swing by there next Wednesday morning and get a quote to see how much he would charge me.

This is a good point, but at the end of the day I am going to pay this car off and try to keep it. I have a killer interest rate, positive equity, and not much left to pay off, so I plan on keeping this car and eventually just purchasing a newer car once I this is paid off so the permanent part I am not worried about. However, I may change my mind one day about the roof being 2-toned, and if that is the case, then I can just rip the vinyl off. Plus the carbon fiber looked killer in person (IMO), so I really liked that look a lot. But then again, I really like the black too. Tough, tough decision.

 

why not just kick yourself in the nuts and see how you feel about it in the morning?

 

This should answer your question.If you get tired of it,or want to go to a different color/finish,just rip it off.
I've always hated fake carbon fiber,but the stuff looks so real now I can almost accept it.My real C/F hood is spiderwebbed from my crash,and I'm considering wrapping it in C/F vinyl when I paint the rest of the car,haha.

 

Wrap it man,it does look good in person.If you decided to go black i'm not going anywhere haha.

 

haha alright, I will let you know for sure. I am leaning towards vinyl unless the prices is ridiculous. if I had experience with the stuff, I would order myself a roll and do it myself to save money, but I don't know how to work with the stuff to make it look seamless.

Let's say I do go with the vinyl...would you guys go with the matte black or the carbon fiber? You're right Chris, the carbon fiber looked so real that I didn't even know the car was vinyl wrapped until he walked up to me and started talking to me. I was in shock.

 

Just drove back from the shop (very nervously) in this:





As you can see the rear is not even close to set up and the car is the dirtiest it has ever been. (especially the brake dust) I plan on dialing it in over the next couple days. This is the whole kit at the HIGHEST setting. I also have rear shock mounts that'd take me down even further. By the way, it doesn't rub AT ALL, even on full lock. For not being aligned it also corners surprisingly well, nice and flat, no body roll.

 

Nice, man! Pull another 2 inches out of it and it'll sit perfectly. (Stoked to see it with the rear set up.)

 

Well it's not going to be sitting at it's final height for a little bit until I can have a shop put the new RSMs on. (decided to go conservative and now I'm feeling like I should've just gone for it) Gotta find the jack adapter that will allow me to use the side skirt holes (no way is a floor jack going to fit under the car once it's dialed down). Thankfully I know that at this height nothing drags and I'm at neutral camber, so there's plenty of room to work.

 

Just keep 2 12" long 2x8's in the trunk. That's what I do. Lookin' good, man.
