Your license plate is the best I've seen. Absolutely hands down. I love it.

Nicely done all around!

Thank you. I installed the clear windscreen, debadged, yellow calipers, color matched the wheels and diffuser, painted the exhaust flat black and tinted the tail lights. Muah Haha

With the rebadging (car looks great without badging) I am wondering if you thought about just having wheels without the black. Are those the carbon fiber insets?

Those are the carbon fiber inserts. I'm not sure what it would look like if I took them off or painted over them.

Thanks for posting these. We have almost the same exact car and I was looking in to doing some of the same things next (rear light tint/badging/etc.) so I'm glad I was able to see how it looks. Well done.

Do not paint over the carbon fiber. Your wheels are perfect sir!

No, wouldn't do that and you end up with holes. If they weren't carbon fiber thought it might go well colored matched as I think that with the design lines of this car, less is more. The debadging does that as well as the smoked tail lights. Looks great!

My buddy always says "the cheapest upgrade to the car that makes you feel like you have a new car"! This proves him right!

How did you get this done exactly, so all I need to do is pick the color, and follow the recipe?
Thanks

IMO:
The wheels look great and are perfect as is with the CF inserts. The yellow calipers just don't go with the Firesand. Gloss black would complete the perfection.

+1

A previous member with a firesand car that had red calipers repainted them firesand. Looked far better. You basically have two choices - gloss black or firesand.

The only thing about going away from yellow is that yellow is the iconic color for ceramic brakes. You spend all that money and then not let the world know that you have his option at first sight.

I also like the NC logo - 'First in flight.' Tell the cops that next time they chase you.

Have to be the dissenting voice and say I hate the wheels, the blades would have looked much better as they were, but overall a stunning car and love the plate.
