it would look good if you removed the front and rear banners and the rear piece.

"But at least they're supporting our new car bla, bla, bla"...It's a dealership adding something on the car so they can mark up the price, period. It serves no purpose but to fatten the bottom line. I used to sell Toyotas theat had B15 Sentra spoilers added on to bas model Camrys so they could tack on another $400 gross.
How much is this $15 and 30 minutes worth of work add-on going to cost?

This thread is feeling a lot like the Cusco thread where someone got some Cusco parts. Not a week earlier was everyone shitting on Cusco aka "Crushco" for thier poor quality and JDM tax but as soon as a member put some of those parts on thier car all was good.

Sack up and call it how you see it.

Sack up??? How bout you stop being a douche, how that for ''keeping it real'', looser. Try this: I don't like it and it looks silly to me, but its cool that you are having fun with the car.

I have been positive while at the same time expressing that I don't like something on multiple threads on here and I am not blinded by hype or anything else. Disagreeing and being a prick are mutually exclusive.

Wow, that thanks button is right next to the quote button. Im douche because I called out the fact that this is crap and others have too much fan boi glitter in their eyes to see it?...OK. Im not gonna sit here and look at stickers and say oh thats cool or thats really useful. It's your run of the mill 3M Carbon Fauxber. It's shit, it's rice and should be treated as such. "I'm Mad Bro"

You are a douche because you are so mean. Its rice, are you fucking kidding me, that's what your worried about, someone other persons car??? Who cares, worry about yourself. The new M5 literally plays exhaust sounds in the speakers when you accelerate, go bitch on their forums about fake this, fake that. What is the difference between a black roof that's painted and one that has black vinyl that looks like carbon fiber. They are both cosmetic, fashion if you will, which is subjective. A lot of people are going to do a lot of things to their cars that you (and I) disagree with which is fine. But be nice, or at least nice-ish.

To the mods, im ending my comments in this thread, I don't want it to get to off topic and out of control.

It's not my thing, but I think it looks ok on the FR-S. I like the blacked out "sleek" roof look and I like CF. But I am just too old for this type of thing.

I do not like the additional banners on front and rear glass and on the sides. Just the roof would have looked better to me.

I applaud the installers. There is no way I could lay a piece of vinyl that size without f'ing it up pretty good.

Should have wrapped the hood. Beat a cheap carbon hood all day long since it is probably lighter and the wrap will not discolor as quickly as a cheap carbon hood. Plus the latches work.

Hood plus roof may look cooler than just roof too.

I have no issues with doing that wrap to protect the top layer of paint and getting a breakup of the color. Especially considering the poop bombs the birds have been dropping since spring all over my cars.

Frankly I think it looks terrible, as do all the other added stickers.

But to each his own, so enjoy

Not really feeling the roof or the 86 circle logo. the side stripes would be OK on the right color, but the orange isn't the right color for those.

But heck, to each his/her own right?

CF isnt really my thing on such a large exterior area.. maybe side mirrors.. or bits around the bottom.. I like that stuff more in the interior.. But hey.. I think its great that you guys are doing it. Always good to see!!!
