$40 front end upgrade
�

The black piece on the front bumper had faded so I bought one of those carbon fiber strips.Looks pretty good I think.

Doesn't someone also make the front bumper trim in CF? It might make a nice match for that; something like this except in CF and without the lettering...

Spraying some tire shine on a rag and then rubbing the black plastic with the rag will take care of fading.
But the CF looks good too! ;)

Mach V/Ultimate is local to me

they've just moved to a new location and have an awesome shop set up. From what i understand, they're VERY good to deal with.

They are great to deal with. I've ordered on line from them a couple of times and I've also been to their shop.

I'm not real big on carbon fiber for appearance purposes. I always thought carbon fiber was used to reduce weight while maintaining structural rigidity.

is it just a flat p iece or does it wrap around under the plastic trim?

Just a thought, any special protective coating you can put on top of it? I really like that look, but I know a lot of people who leave CF unpainted run into some serious problems with the finish dulling

fastwrx does carry them a great price, although LNR also offers them in colored CF versions (red, blue, and yellow); ...just a FYI.
