I like the rear valance! in for DSLR pics of it! I've been wondering whether I should get mine done matte, or gloss. I haven't really been planning on CF bits, but only because of the reported yellowing. Any idea how well the CF vinyl will hold up?
Thanks bud... I appreciate it. Yeah, I was totally taken aback by that man's compliment. It did really make me appreciate my car EVEN more than I already do. I just love my Z. Best car I have owned... thus far.

As for the CF bits, I used the 3M CF wrap. They actually come in diff't colors... way cool. Buddy of mine used the silver CF wrap on his silver STi to contrast it nicely. It wraps REALLY well, esp around corners...very forgiving. You just need to find a really good installer. Durability wise, I have not heard negative things. I have not heard of yellowing either.

The best part??? If you feel like switching or changing or because for some reason it did yellow, just have it peeled off!!! and put another! It's not permanent, like paint.... Also, I believe it's warrantied from peeling and discoloration anyways (3M warranty), just like the clear bra. I might be wrong. Someone else can chime in.

Thanks Econ... yeah, the clear bra is probably the best mod a car enthusiast can do on their cars... For me, I really don't like "edges" or lines... so when I do the clear bras, I do a "whole" panel...i.e. front bumper, a-pillars, mirrors, etc. It has really saved my bumper. I have ZERO chips after numerous highway jaunts. Also, it's warrantied as aforementioned...


P.S. What do you guys think of putting 3M CF on my mirrors? I don't want to go overboard... but my 3M guy was saying that would look great?!?!?!?!
