Damn! You cut it with that blade? You should clean those edges up with a dremmel or something. That looks like it's going to crack pretty easy now and fray.

With it fraying like that there's already small cracks that have formed. Dremmeling it would get rid of those small cracks and give you a clean edge. Once you get a small crack in CF it's like glass, it will just spider web. I have the same diffuser and would hate to see it crack any further, cause I know how much you spent on that.

The diffuser really adds that aggresive look to your car. Especially because you have that front bumper. Your car is turning out nicely. Keep up the good work.

Trying out HDRI here with a 40D canon, 50mm 1.4F lens. Also thought i'd ***** out the diffuser some more.

Damn, I think the carbon fiber caps would look good because it would go with the diffuser. Although the TA caps should still look amazing. IMO it still looks mean as hell without them.

I like it minus the side pieces... It would look much cleaner without, in my opinion.

Volk offer a carbon centered cap for the GT series wheel that would look nice

i feel a lot of downforce cruising down the street. Nah, not really. I didn't get it for downforce. I might even take the side pieces off and put nismo pieces on like taytay did.

About the center caps: I've had every single center cap there is. The ones with carbon centers, the new GT2 series that are all shiny metal ones, and now these TA ones which i'm about to sell. Nothing looks as good as work caps.
