I think you've compromised the flow of the car.

The tailights are great looking right out of the factory. The back of the car has no "wow" to it now. You've blacked out the cool structure of the inside of the lights. There's supposed to be some glare, some shine, some flash when looking at the back of the car. You get that with the stock tails reflectivity. Now that you've blacked them out they just look like... kinda dull I guess.

Also the carbon gas door just looks cheap. Your eyes are supposed to wander all over the car with flow. Like a naked woman, you wouldn't want to find a big pimple on her stomach. It's distracting.

This is all just my opinion and every mans car should be an extension of his personality so more power to ya for changing it to your liking.

actually i helped the flow of the car by finishing it off with a darker more menacing look....the lights arent completely blacked out and you can see the insides just fine....must be the angle and as for the fuel door it was replacing a chrome (satin) piece which was what really stuck out like a sore thumb considering there was no other blingy type of pieces left on the car.....as for looks it garners them every where i go and i have quite a few trophies to prove it....ugly chicks dont get noticed as much.....different strokes i guess......

It actually makes the car look more aggressive, especially with the amount of time money and work hes put into it, it makes it seem like it was meant to be that way, I'm just curious as to how long you've owned your car or what you have done to it ? cause unless you have invested about 1/3 of what he has i wouldn't rip on him

Right... what was I thinking. My OPINION is not valid because I haven't invested in a CF gas door....

Money invested doesn't always equal good looks (to everyone).

I've seen too many people drop tons of money and come out with a cheesy end product.

If you can't accept the freedom of other peoples opinions then the internet is the last place you should be.

Plus I wasn't really bashing him. In the end I said it only matters what it looks like to him because it's his car. But it's not exactly where I would have put my money.

Everyone is different :D
