The school district I was placed in this semester was a rough ride to the middle of nowhere, and people kept losing things on the highway.

Nothing on my car is fake or a replica... I wouldn't start now. By the time you factor in 3 hours of labor just to make it fit right, it doesn't even make sense.... I have seen some horrible fitting replicas on our cars.

Yep, and in person it is always much worse. But getting authentic aero is so damn expensive and it takes so long to get, that is why I am glad I got the chance to get the MS kit.

Pearly wouldn't be the proper definition, but people aren't always best at describing what they see to others ... language can get complicated.

VRM has a heavy flake that isn't apparent from far away but up close in good lighting and it is quite noticeable. So, less pearly, more sparkly?

The innards are mostly black plastic... Most don't see it because their headlights are faded to ****.
