Nicely done. If it were me, would probably do the whole cover as a means of bug-splat prevention.

I may look into that, these were kind of a beeatch, so not sure if I want to do even more, thanks for the kind words

I would have gone with a matte black, or even a matte white wrap. But, I do kind of want to see the whole ride wrapped in CF now.

This is a case where you'd really have to see the vehicle in person, the CF isn't nearly as "loud" as the pics represent, it's a black CF that is a pretty subtle change from the "sea of black" of the rest of the G. Appreciate your opinion, and although I like the CF look (in moderation) the world would be pretty mundane if we all shared the same opinion

It looks like you did a fine job on your mirrors and grill. Not like some half a@^ job that I've seen around town. You got that simple and clean look going with your G. Nice.

Thanks a bunch on the grill, again, I think if you saw the whole car in person you might like the overall look better, the pics make it look like the mirrors stand out much more than they really do.
