Cheers. Contemplating on wrapping the roof in carbon and spraying both bonnet vents in plastidip (white) to finish the exterior off.

You don't like the black vents? I personally kinda like the black and white theme lol. The carbon wrap certainly looks good while it lasts, but I think it starts peeling after a while in the Perth sun. I saw a new Toyota 86 with peeling carbon wrap on the bonnet, looked really tacky :s Though you have a garage, so as long as you don't park in the sun you should be alright :]

What about gloss black finish for the roof?

Gav @ GT Graphics does awesome work from what I've seen/heard.

The Evo is my weekender, always chills in the garage apart from 1/2days a week when I take it for a lap, so sun exposure is very minimal.

Black would be another option, so many choices I tell ya.

Looks awesome mate..I am starting to like the look of the Evo Xs with no fog lights. What foglight delete kit have you used?

Cheers

Probably a DIY job or a dodgy installer - the 3M stuff supposedly lasts 5-7 years...

...and as I've had mine done in 3M, I certainly hope so!

Can you post one from a higher angle so we can see the whited-out vents?

Rims are 18x9.5" +15, using stock tyre sizes so a minimal stretch on them :)

Vents are black, only the MR came out in white from factory
