It's funny that $50 for b'pillar I gotta think thru!
But I dont think when getting other mods, floormats, S2000 antenna, bright-white lights!

I'm not a fan of them... sure the CF looks good, but I think they stand out too far

that's why I have my vinyl domed overlays... has the CF print but doesn't stick out so far

I have the silver streak mica, and Im wondering if they will be suttle but cool... because I dont want it to jump out too much. I just want to add a little personalization. But I wish someone had somepics that werent 1 foot away from the actual item

At first I really wanted to get them, now I feel that they're kinda tacky, but that's just imo.

They are so stupid just like the bumper applique. These are even more stupid since it isn't real carbon fiber and you are just fooling yourself if you think they make the car look better. They actually make the car look cheaper and when others find out its just a sticker in the form of carbon fiber, they will ____ on you and then on your car.

I know its CF, buts a sticker of CF. Its like those gold stickers they put on certificates. Its real gold, but its just a sticker form of the gold. Therefore its not really the real thing.

what do you think real carbon is? carbon is just woven fibers, its actually flexible until epoxy is applied, my friend is a composite worker, he does carbon every day.
