off topic, but how do you like your carbon fiber license bracket? is the fitment good? which one is it? would you mind taking some upclose pics of it? I'd appreciate it...

Car looks hot too!

The license bracket is made by Tyrant. I got it from www.lancershop.com The fitment isn't the best but I don't mind it.

Here's some closer pic's

yea I've heard the fitment isnt fantastic, which is why I was hesitant to buy it...if at all possible would you mind taking a close up pic of it when you get a chance? also is the CF 1x1 or 2x2?
CF mirror covers and VG would look pretty sweet on your setup as well!
Thanks!

Here are some close ups of the license plate insert you were asking about. As you can see the only place it doesn't fit real well is on the upper sides. BTW, don't mean to sound like a noob, but how can i tell if it's 1x1 or 2x2?

hey those pics are great! better fitment than I expected...I read some people getting some real thin double sided adhesive and placing them right behind those upper sides to make it form to the body a little better, but the fitment is definitely liveable! thanks for the pics!

1x1 CF weave is what is on the stock wing, it looks like small 1x1 boxes, the 2x2 is a bit larger, if you compare it next to the wing you should be able to tell fairly easily, but from a distance it's not really noticeable

Unfortunately no. If you notice the pictures are on my drive way and it's super steep, so I don't want to bottom out. I already have to articulate the hell out of the car so as not to scrape, I can only imagine how bad it would be if I dropped it.

I learned something new today. It's definitely 2x2.
