Unless vinyl wrap has advanced in its design, real CF looks different/better than the vinyl look IMHO. If it's the looks you are after I'd say get the real thing. And I think SeanBlader found his CF trunk was definitely lighter than OEM trunk. Front hood though is a different matter as the OEM is already aluminum...

Can't believe I watched the final episode of Initial D. Only took 13 years after I first discovered it in high school and watched the 1st-3rd stage in a week.

Yeah. The links are on page 11 and 12 of the thread, not the OP yet. Plus you need to actually log in to be able to click the links. Copying and pasting the links dont work.

Those things are sexy. I work by a Kaiser training center and every once in a while, this beauty shows up.

Aside from in a major metropolitan area like NYC or SF, I always wonder about those kinds of people who can afford a $100K+ car, but rent instead of own a home.

What brand gas is everyone using? I used Chevron ever since I started driving, but I think my FR-S likes 76 better. I've gotten much better mpg with 76 than Chevron. Still won't make a definite conclusion until a few more tanks tho.
