What a coincidense, I was also looking at these kits myself. I was curious of the chrome finish.

As Benny said, I think the brush aluminium on the stark black interior will be too much. So perhaps a shadow chrome or just chrome will be more subtle.

The CF looks good though.

Marcusus, great job on your paintwork. Can you get a spray paint in chrome?

I would think Chrome would be even worse for standing out?

I'm fairly sure you can get a chrome spray, but I haven't looked to be honest.

I agree, but buy what ever YOU like. :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

For those who really want the CF look, SAAS make stick-on sheets that look just like genuine CF that you need to look reeeally carefully to tell the difference. Available at the usual auto places.

Don't know the quality of the vinyl or sticky-ness, but they do look good and come in many colours. The \"silver CF\" is the least attractive.
