Enjoy it, you will be getting some looks!

Oh and some advice on textured vinyl when detailing. If you ever get wax on it, it can be tough to remove, there can be weird line and hazing. If that happens, a "Mr. Clean" magic eraser sponge will take it right out. Then I use a Zaino detailing spray on them.

Nice, thanks for the tip! I already have the Zaino detailing spray and a "Mr. Clean" magic eraser is easy to come by if necessary.

That is a decent price I must say.

No, I thought about it and decided to do the 3M matte black.. matches the grill better and I didn't know if the carbon fiber would look good or not so I didn't want to chance it. Looks good in matte black though.

I agree, I think you went the right route. Again, looks great.

So in terms of the waviness mentioned earlier, did some research and pulled out the extra material I had that wasn't installed. Turns out, the material is made like that... my uninstalled material is wavy so it wasn't done by stretching out the vinyl or anything and I looked at a youtube video by metrorestyling as they are putting it on and it's wavy. Look at about 2:24 mark. So just a heads up, I still think it looks good and maybe that's what carbon fiber is supposed to look like..idk.
