The good thing is that no matter what others say here I'm the only one that I need to please. And I'm very happy with my ride
That's alright Fire... to each his own opinion. As long as we're happy with our own cars. For example, I wouldn't do the flat black spoiler on my car either, but if you like it, that's all that matters. I just did the 3M CF valence on mine, and not everyone will like it, but that's ok.

happytheman- the CF is probably your best choice (especially the FujimuraAuto rear diffuser cover thingie) but then again if you do the 3M DiNoc correctly it can look very good too. considering all the contours i would first remove the axle-back and paint the bottom side of the rear bumper (center section only) matte-black first before applying DiNoc or black vinyl. it looks pretty silly when you got vinyl back there but can see that the bottom-side was not applied. lol believe me, people behind you will notice this. i clean the bottom side of the rear splash guards all the time because of this.

yah fire, if you're happy with your ride who cares! at least your wheels arent yellow or something crazy.
Yeah, I might have my guy wrap the 3M CF stuff ALL the way underneath and deeper into the cutouts, but I am just worried about the heat emanated from our tips. Will that melt the vinyl overlay, even if not touching????

And what do you guys think about 3M CFing the mirrors and maybe the B-pillars?!?!??! Too much?
