it all depends on what you like. Honestly, i love the Black/red scheme exterior, but these silver carbon fiber overlays on black looks superb. Even with our opinions, if its still a hard decision for you, i would talk to Don************ since he knows most about these.

as for the black c/f one. I think that looks good too, but it all depends on your color scheme. If you want some contrast, get silver CF, if you just LOVE black, get black CF

meh, cf vinyl looks really tacky IMO because its very obvious its just a vinyl sticker not real CF, i'd stick with something subtle and go with the etched.

just do a light interior headlight modification and put that vinyl inside :P Then it'll look nicer. I saw a comparison between real silver CF and the vinyl, it's pretty close, especially for its cost

CF is tacky on headlights. I'd go with the silver glass.

thx for the pics. just wondering when you get these vynl stickers are they easy to put on. do you just match it up and stick one end to the other. i want them to look clean not so like a sticker, but im pretty set on the black cf unless someone knows where to get a smoked one or a better looking black thanks again guys
