Yeah, cant put a finger on where I got that idea from. Generally Im not a fan of cf vinyl, but its very subtle in this application, and seeing it in your bay more or less sealed the deal.

Dear God that looks Clean AF.

Question, on my engine cover the Mt Fuji fell off or was broken off from the previous owner, aka empty space. I was thinking of doing a vinyl wrap on the engine bay and the filling in the emptiness with a black coat. Is there a way I can order just that part? to my understanding it goes with the engine cover because there are plastic pins that go through the cover to the other side.

Thank you

The emblems tend to fall off over time, or 'stealerships' have been known to steal them. Service guys have been reported to rip them off on several occasions as souvenirs lol. If the size is the same as the badge on the trunk, you could try one of those. Theyre like 6-7 bucks on aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Infi...f-15b1cf26a7ef

Buying the emblem by itself is often just as expensive as buying a new cover. If youre going that far, you could get an IPL 2 piece cover or get the metal plate that goes over the emblem area with something custom engraved into it. (like you see on the Tommy Kaira cover)

Sounds like a nice deal on the lights, and they sure did a nice job judging from those pics^^^

Looks good! Exactly what I plan on doing with the lights. If only I could find a local place to paint my headlights!
