Well, I'm going back to my gloss black and RJT look. I think it looked better combo wise than the CF and RJT.. This way my antennae will be black to go with the splitter and spoiler. Just got tired of the external CF look, the interior will not be touched, all that CF will remain because it looks great in there.

Nah, just going to go back to gloss black and the RJT.. Fitment is spot on..

Here's a pic of her with the gloss black splitter and MPD1 spoiler. But I haven't made my mind up yet.

In my opinion, The Black looks so much better, People tend to over do it with add on CF stuff, I also know you said something about removing he louvers, I have never been a fan of them either. Everyone has different taste which is needed though as every car would then look the same.

Yeah thanks Joe. I'm just not liking the CF look on the exterior anymore. It's just the CF looks better on the darker cars, and the lighter, brighter colors like the SGM. The louvers, yeah not sure about them either, I like them, gives the car a different look than all the others, just might leave them alone. And the door handle covers are coming off as well.

I was not a fan of Louvers... then I loved the ones I had put on my car. Then someone ripped them off in a parking garage bc people are awesome. Now that im back to no louvers, i do agree the cleaner look is better. I may buy them again, but im in no rush.

That does look good! Not sure if I would want to use contact cement in case I want to remove it in the future.

I have thought the same but I have gotten nothing but compliments on my louvers as everyone else out there either didn't have them or they have the weird looking V-shaped louvers on the rear that just looks blah!!

I’m a less is more guy with CF. In subtle places it really kicks ass but when the whole car is carbon fiber it detracts to me. I can’t wait to see what you do with this iteration of Ruby! Louvers are cool on some cars and not so much on others for me, it depends on the whole overall build of the car in that regard. I like the louvers on yours Wayne.

i agreed on my synergy it does pop but i also only did subtle parts the antenna cover door handles and front splitter which may wing up being painted black at some point well see..I think yours will look great in black Wayne and will pop on the ruby...as for louvers never been a fan...and after looking at my car yesterday as i drove it to work I will be removing the back window stickers, I agree it will look cleaner....thanks Wayne
