Default Couple small updates to my 07

Added some hood struts (thanks to the wife).....





Threw a few carbon fiber bits on the interior (thanks to the wife....again)....







And then just a few random shots......








My little helper in the background, she tried to help polish the paint with a flip-flop.......

Where did u get the carbonfiber pieces? And how do you like the fit? My arm rest and steering wheel pieces are all scratched up.

Thanks for the replies.

87ARMY08 - I am almost certain that she got the parts from evo-r.net. The fit on the arm rests was great, as was the gauge overlay. The steering wheel bits leave a bit to be desired, the quality is good but the fit could be better.

Looks great! You should do a DIY on how to polish the paint with a flip flop.

Looks realy nice.
How is the fitment btw? I currently have the evo-r center shifter piece but the fitment is sorta bad... I guess I'd like to know if te other pieces are better fitted or not. Thanks!

I will be totally honest, I don't remember. I thought I got them from Intense Power, but they aren't listed on the website anymore, although sometimes you can ask them about stuff and they can get it for you.

I don't know, my wife got them for me as part of my Xmas presents, but I am almost positive she ordered them from Evo-R.net.

The fitment on the gauge cluster was good, as were the door armrests. The only thing that bothers me about the steering wheel parts is that they don't wrap around to the bottom, so the top and face area are covered in CF but the bottom is still silver. You can't see it until you turn the wheel, but still, how hard would it be to make the thing wrap all the way around.

Also added these not too long ago.



Wanted something to cover up that notoriously fading plastic.
