I wasn't liking the wood grain at all haha. I tried the full black look but it was to bland. I personally think the silver makes it look a bit newer and feels classier :p

Nice, I think a piano gloss black would have been a bit more stylish though as it would blend in with the cd player etc.

Looks good. Must've been hard to do with one piece.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

It was seriously painful to do, hahaha. First thing i have actually wrapped in vinyl too, hahaha!

Put the new liberty badge on the grill.

Got the CF into the gauge cluster. Will have some shinny rings to go around the gauges soon (also hide the imperfections in my wrapping skilz)

Tomorrow morning will be rattle hunting. Getting rather irritated by the passenger side doors not closing tight.

Yeah i saw a picture of an older RX and liked it, so did it with carbon fiber vinyl :p

Got bored again this morning and wanted more practice with the vinyl... After failing at wrapping the spoiler because i dont have skilz i wrapped the ash tray in CF

Wrapped the glove box. (bad lighting makes it look like junk)

Went for a drive up to the lookout and took some pics. (Full quality so they will be linked)

Yeah they arent so big it draws attention but big enough to look good. And then i would have it for when i get a conversion.

And i prefer the Gen4 GT wheels to the Spec B ones... Only reason i got the 17's i have now is they were $250.
