Yes, it was quite time consuming.

Good job on the wraps too!
Not 100% yet, I have to re-do the rear passenger arch and will need to buy a black shark fin. I accidentally removed the weather seal on the fin and it won't re-seal. No CEL yet, it's been 200 miles so far.

Did you DIY the rear bumper? That's a difficult line to hold steady on the cut... or was it pre-cut?
I had someone do it, but I was helping him. The line at the top isn't perfect because he didn't have knifeless tape on hand. I ordered a roll and will be able to get a nice, sharp line with that.

Oh wow. That solution never occurred to me. Clever thinking, OP.

I also wrapped my rear diffuser with Hexis gloss black vinyl. I am not sure how I feel about it. The alternatives are the auto kits diffuser which has fitment issues and the Carbon Signal is too pricey.


Lastly, the window trim in the same vinyl used above.
I have the autokits diffuser and have no complaints on the fitment

I think I'm going with Carbon Signal actually, later down the line.

I picked up this eBay CF spoiler.

Not bad at all. Questions:

How was the fitment?
Do these go over the chrome "spoiler", or is it a replacement?
How is the CF? Got any close up shots of the weave?
Was in one of the China ones, or did you find a US seller?
Link?

That's all.

We do, even our mufflers look identical with the rolled tips.

They go directly over the chrome spoiler with double sided tape. I don't have any closeups on hand, cannondale I believe has some close-ups in his thread. I actually lucked out and bought it from my friend locally who was parting out. I can't find any currently on Ebay and the last contact I had with the seller mentioned it would be a few months before they are back in stock. The fitment was great, the sides of the spoiler were a little tricky to get them to stick. Everything is flush.

Should be in the clear, I think that FI 02 setup works, 2500 miles on mine thus far and no CEL
