To my personal and humble opinion

Since is that new and looking good I will try to keep it as stock as I can.

Just i would think some wheels, suspension, and probably taillights

Nice car by the way

I'd think twice about that film. I've seen that stuff start peeling after an while and it's not pretty what it does to the finish. Maybe those people used cheapo film though.

i dont like CF fuel door at all.. whether its vinyl or actual door replacement.. IMO it looks stupid, u have a solid colored car (any color) then that lil piece is in CF. CF hood is a different story, its a big enough part to make a huge appearance difference, but not fuel door.. I would even take CF side mirror covers over fuel door, cuz at least mirrors u have 2 of and it will look symmetrical.

Don't waste your money on little things like that. Dressing the car up on the outside is not much and u don't get anything out of it. Go for performance mods if you can. I recommend injen cold air intake and greddy ti c exhaust. I bought both and the intake after i installed is awesome. Can't wait for the exhaust to arrive and get installed. Will try to let you guys know how it goes. Good luck.

but if your already running some CF i can see how it would help accent it a bit more.
you know a hood, side mirrors AND the gas door. but not just the gas door.

In my opinion, CF and Black don't look good together unless it is a silver CF. It is just too close to black. Anyways, the fake CF film stuff looks really crappy, if someone made a fuel door out of REAL CF, that would look bad-a, but again, not really on black.

I tend to agree..... go for the bigger mods on CF ie:hood, wing.... On black it aint' a good choice.
