Hey man welcome to the forums. Im in Louisiana too, New Orleans.

Car's off to a nice start. I like the mirrors and the gas tank lid, but Ive always thought the di-noc wrapped hoods were a bit too much. That cement is such a sweet color.

Thanks man! The hood wrap is just temporary. I'm changing it into a real one next month since my friend is selling her brand new extra CF hood for a half price.

Looking good man! And yea i like the carbon fiber wrap on the side mirrors but not the hood. If ur buying a CF hood make sure its Seibon they are the best one in the market and the fitment is like OEM hood.

Yea, the hood is going to be Seibon. My friend is selling her extra one...so yeah..

I'm getting seibon CF front lip within in a couple of months too, but I'll probably get an Injen CAI first.

I just stuck the wrap over the squares and used a retractable knife to trace the edges.

If you're going to do it, just be careful not to scratch the paint of your car

@jerro: Thanks!

Nice job on the mirrors! Like them, and advantage is if they get marked up at all you can just re-do them! Very cool. Someone should take note and make real carbon fiber ones I'll bet they would sell well if moderately priced.

Not so sure about the gas cap, would have to see it in person. Hood looks good though, I think you have mastered carbon fiber wrap that's for sure. Looks clean.

Not sure on the scion door stickers either, I keep looking at them, if I saw them in person it might sway me more.

Like the car, done nicely, some great photo work there too!

Haha. Thank man!

The door stickers were included already when I got the car.
