Default Carbon Block Off Piece.

I made a block off piece out of 2x2 weave real carbon fiber. Hard to pick up the carbon nicely, dark as heck outside and it's raining.

Should I keep it or take it off? How's it look to you guys?

In the day time it blends in pretty nicely, the flash makes the carbon pop out.

First of all I still love your wheels and I think it would look good in black as well.

What are you trying to accomplish with this? If you just want to randomly place things on your car then you have succeeded. Otherwise, you could have just used smoked reflectors and done almost the same thing and, IMO, it would have looked alot better. Props on taking the time to do it yourself though.

Maybe try removing the reflector and placing the piece inside the bumper cover, covering the hole left by the reflector? Dunno. My 2¢

I'm failing to see how so many people like a patch of cf slapped over the reflectors. Looks sloppy. You guys have some poor taste.

I agree. I would look better if it were inside the bumper. From some of the later pictures it just looks like you taped over your reflectors.

I agree with most of you, I kind of like it yet I kind of don't. Will take all comments into consideration and work on it some more. Doesn't look quite finished to me either.

i think it would look really good if the lines were cleaner... they look just a little bit sloppy/uneven... besides that i think its a pretty original mod and has potential.

Not bad. I think it would better if you just wrapped a set of reflectors in CF though.
