Looking really good man!

BTW my brother did the PB trick on a duckbill wing he got on his RHD JDM Civic and it worked like a champ.

I figured some people wouldn't like it. Its very uncommon (me and John2.5RS i think are the only people I know that have it) so its a bit different.

I'm starting to love it more and more. The car is not completely finished exterior wise, I think it will look really awesome once it has a front lip and tint and painted skirts

True, it is unique I guess. So what did you do with the trunk? Looks good and you can see its carbon, is it just because the pics are closer or did you add more clear?

well it had zero clear coat on there, which is why the peanut butter thing wouldnt really have done anything. I had it clear coated by a local shop and now it looks really nice

I think it would look good if you got the V6 lip and kept the sideskirts and spats black. Then add some tint and you're good.

The main reason is that it would definitely match the blacked out headlights and corners.

I thought about that, maybe paint the sideskirts black so they don't turn grey when they aren't clean. Not sure though, Ill have to do a photoshop and see what looks better.

Also, for a front lip, I'm either going with chargespeed, P1, or cwest (cwest preferably). I want something a bit more aggressive than the v6 to balance off the rear end

this car is going to be a track monster eventually, have to make it look like that

however, exterior mods are definitely not the next thing in line mod wise. Ill be getting some sort of suspension setup and then slotted rotors, Hawk HP+ pads, ss brake lines next

Then I'll be selling the wheels, getting some 17x8's and some nice 245's for track/autox

Salvator- You can also try ArmorAll (or similar product) to add luster and "depth" back to your carbon parts. Back when I worked in that industry we'd use it to add some luster to parts where finish quality wasn't priority. You can use it on your hood/trunk etc. hot or cold... this will help but never as good as a quality part finish or clearcoat job.
