Carbon fiber or black wheels would look great.This has been suggested to me.I'm on old school kind of guy who has to have his wheels shine.
I think the polished metal shows the depth of the wheel better.

Like a lot of people I started buying Carbon Fiber parts.Body panels where full C F.I bought stuff from Evo R and others that where covers that went over parts.Not happy with this.I wanted to get CF parts that no one made.After spending money on this stuff I bought equipment and materials to do my own CF.Laid out about $1500 to get started.Some of early attempts did not turn out well.
Gauge pod out of the mold tonight.Will be sanded and cleared.Sill plate showing what a finished piece looks like.

One thing I found out the hard way..Carbon Fiber conducts electricity.So if you are using a CF battery cover.Take care to not make contact.

Congrats on your progress I like your ideas. I believe there is nothing wrong with installing carbon fiber parts and covers on a import vehicle as long as it is done tastefully and not over done like a lot of people do.

Love this topic, not so much blabla - action and a lot of pictures.

Great work on the carbon diffuser btw.
