    I like. looks good. I love carbon fiber pieces. The look especially good on Lambos, Ferraris and BMWs.

    Ok after looking at them for a day now I think the front and rear sills look terrible. I'm returning them and getting the engine compartment pieces in their place. Will post the pics when I'm done.

    I'm going to agree with you on the screw holes, I think that throws off the look of the parts; the engine bay looks awesome though.

    Parts look cool - just keep an eye on those exhaust tips. In my experience, CF starts to look really ratty when exposed to continuous heat/cool cycles. It seems to lose it's shine and start to delaminate.

    The exhaust tips are ceramic not CF. I was told they should hold up to the heat.

    Well then they should hold up great! Ceramic is overkill, but in a good way :)

    thank you! looks great..and really looks interesting...like it. not the typical shiny tip, gives a 'techy' race impression...

    That's cool. Is there enough room for the tailpipes to move around under engine load?

    Yes, the ceramic is attached to the carbon fiber piece and not to the exhaust tips.
