The ride is looking great crbalch! Not wasting any time I see. I love what you did with the front splitter. Turned out great. Any plans for the mirror caps? The silver is looking out of place. Lets see some interior shots. I recently did the carbon fiber interior and really like it. Keep up the good work!!

Appreciate the feedback on the front splitter. Mirrors are going to be vinyl wrapped in matte black asap. I plan to try it out myself and see how it turns out. If it fails, I will go with some painted IND caps most likely, or just take it to a shop to wrap real quick. The carbon trim is so nice, I could not be happier with it. My favorite part is by far the gear selector lever.. The trim by the iDrive controller is also great because I rest my hand on that as well and the carbon feels great. I will put up a few interior shots later tonight! |

The gear selector lever and the part around it was the first thing I did. I like it because this is my first automatic and it makes it look less obvious that it's an auto. Plus, it just feels cool.
The flat black wrapped mirrors should look great with the theme you have going. Good luck with that! |

Spoiler is JBSPEED (check the commercial sales section). Quality is good, mine is just the FRP version so it's pretty lightweight, but overall happy with the quality. |

Sorry, one more question...how much higher is the aftermarket spoiler compared to the stock spoiler? When I see some pictures it seems to make a big difference and other pictures not as much. Wondering if its worth it to swap it out cuz I plan to have it match the body color of the car.

I'm keeping with the EB/matte black theme throughout, and it would have been pointless to paint a carbon part which is already 3x more expensive. |

Super dope...
I'm digging the double slot grilles. Any more pictures of the rear? I'd like to see the spoiler more in a matte color...don't think anyone has posted one from what I've seen. |

Thanks man! I will try to get some more shots of the rear and then update the thread. I also need to get some good ones of the interior, been a hectic few weeks.
