is the wheel wrapped or dipped or purchased? I've been thinking about dipping all the silver interior pieces but all the dipped CF stuff I see is so dull looking. I want stuff to look like my trunk and hood.

RIGHT!!!! Im in a slump right now... I know I need to keep installing things, Im just getting a lack of motivation. Im waiting on injectors and a fuel pump and I will install the new rails, return fuel line, injectors, and pump... Then I will drop the transmission and get the clutch in then off to the shop to get a look over and a new tune. Then interior and I will be ready for show season and next winter I have more plans haha....

This is the real deal carbon fiber. Hydrodipping doesn't even look close. I have lots of real carbon wrapped pieces. Vivtek makes vinyl that looks really close to carbon fiber and I'm using it in some rally small pieces that not many will ever seen and are not close to other carbon fiber parts... Like my seat belt buckle and other such pieces.

I am sorry I have been absent lately. I have been trying to sell a LOT of parts to fund buying new ones. I still cant get rid of the Greddy exhaust. If it doesnt sell, I will tune with it and swap to the Tomei later on..... I got the fuel lines on and am running the final wires and hoses tomorrow and Sunday night. I just ordered the Kinetix manifold. It should be a solid setup. Once thats all in and wired back up, I will drop the transmission and install the new clutch. Then off to the shop it goes for the tune and a general check over on parts. Maybe a new turbo exit tube as mine is cracked. Wheels get back in my hands on Wednesday, which means on the car the following week. The steering wheel gets here next week. Carbon Fiber Element did a STAND OUT JOB on it!!!!

This wheel is pricy, but on point... Can't have a custom interior without the custom pieces to back it all up!

That was exactly why I did a custom stock one!!! It's worth it in my book, the extra money... It was done by carbon fiber element.
