Yea, the difference between the two is subtle, but I think it sets the car off a little more, and makes it look less like a black/white photo.

I think I used your write-up when I did the ones on the blue TA a long time ago, then just went off of memory for these. Thanks!

Looks good man. I like the subtle difference.

Just curious, did you keep the lid & FRC's off the last car? I'd bet they would look pretty good on that white engine bay.

I couldnt tell a difference between the two except for the filler panel had be polished. Its probably the sun light and different angles that effect it but it def. looks nice! I actually prefer the black but the graphite is a nice choice. I always wanted to do the CETA Mod but my cars black and I just think it doesnt look right anyother color though.

No, they went with it too, I wish I kept em', they were nice! I'm going to look for another set soon, the engine bay appearance is my next project.

The pictures obviously don't do it justice. The graphite looks really good in person. It's still a subtle difference from the black, but the gloss graphite and the polished lights really make the back of his car pop. Looks good as always Reza!
