De badged trunk, painted engine bay and some CF bits.

De badged the trunk and replaced the Mitsu badge with a CF one, installed some CF bits in the interior and painted the red parts black in the engine bay. I also covered the red Mitsu badge with some metallic CF style tape.

Nice! IMO, matte/flat black on the engine cover would look better.

I wanted a little contrast.

Due to the lack of responses I am assuming the mods don't look that good.

The CF is Seibon. What does a good weave look like? Sorry, not Seibon, Rexpeed.

The mitsu emblems look great! I was thinking of doing something similar with my front emblem. Where did you get the CF tape? Do you think the tape would hold up with bugs and repeated washes?

Why? Because of the shine?

I agree that the engine cover look a little too glossy, but if you like then you should do the same for the front emblem.

The tape came from eBay and seems pretty adhesive. I think it will hold up well against washes and bugs. If not I will just replace it, I bought 9 yards for $9.

satin black would look better on the engine cover.
