How about "CAMELBACK SCION" (in black) running between the fenderwells on the ground effects?

Maybe in outlines?

Maybe?

It might be shameless, but it is also very true statement.

Chad I'm glad you brought this up. I was seriously thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood myself except I'm loosing faith in getting in wrapped in a timely fasion, due to the fact that that my ground effects should have been done like three months ago

carbon fiber blows. Get intake, headers etc. Chico will give you a good deal at Vivid.

They have a clear coat on them already and that is what fades so badly. I had a CF hood on the last car and even though I waxed it all the time, the hood still faded. At least if the clear bra fades it can be replaced cheaper than repainting a CF hood
