For your trim piece, you used 3D carbon, which looks cheap (I hate saying that about others' mods). You should have used tech carbon gloss making it look better/more premium: http://www.amazon.com/Black-carbon-p...s+carbon+fiber. I hope you get what I'm saying. I think your mods are great...I'm just giving some helpful info to make them better. Of course, you can completely disagree...that's the beauty of opinions and taste - we're all different .

I'm sure many don't like my mods .
So true, for example I hate the glossy black CF. But on the white I think your suggestion for the gloss finish is spot on. I think I will order some and just try it out on the back reflectors to see how it looks with the mineral white. Now enough of our mods before we get accused of
