Did I say real CF? They don't even have aftermarket CF side mirrors for 2nd gen tC's.

You can wrap pieces using real carbon fiber and then use resin to create a real carbon piece. You did say they were wrapped in CF, which they are not.

They look good though. So does the plastics upped lower portion of the bumper.
Why are the two square hole covers blacked out though? Looks random.

I had a leftover wrap and I didn't know what to do with it so I put it in the two square covers. Lol

Thank you though.

I'll probably stop putting some "cosmetics" for now. I don't want it to be rice.

I'm getting an intake and probably lowering springs this coming paycheck.

That's pretty tight. I dig the wheels, I'd go tein springs, but depends on how low you want i guess. Which is a typical answer when it comes to which springs/coils to get... ha

but, Why do guys dip their rear bumpers?

Thanks. lol.

and for the dip, well.. I do mine for the looks. But I'll take it off when I get the RS2 front lip. I'll even take CF wrap vinyl off in the hood for a cleaner look.

Hey, nice looking tC!

Did you plasti-dip the front bumper by the grill? Or did you use vinyl?

Also, did you cover a portion of the bumper outside of the grill as well? It seems to be a lot 'cleaner' than other people who just put vinyl/dip on the lower lip.

@odus, yeah. It will be lowered in about a week or so. I'm just waiting for my tax return. Haha! And I believe these wheels are lighter than the stocks by 2lbs...?

@tea_sea, Yea. everything you see in the front bumper is plasti-dip, it's been there for about 6 months now. I just covered the grill using newspapers, and electrical tape to get the corners.
