My iCarbon bits fitted
Well the weather is good today, so I got to wash the car and take some pictures at last. Although I am still waiting to get my race mesh grills delivered to match the FMIC one, I though "to hell with it" it looks so nice I will have to take the pictures today. You will see I currently have both the iCarbon rear diffuser and the front lip. Both of these items are of excellent quality and the fitment is fairly straight forward for both and I fitted both of these on my own.
I hope you enjoy the pictures of my car and A big thank you to iCarbon and I am looking forward to adding an iCarbon CF "roof spoiler" next ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I like it alot, well most of it..lol. The FMIC mesh looks very good also. I still can't figure out what's up with your FMIC setup though. Did you remove the support bars in front of your FMIC or is it just the new mesh that makes it looks so much more uniform? I hated the way you could see those supports with the stock setup so I went with a black FMIC.
I look forward to seeing your mesh kidneys!

Nice.
Oddly enough, I like your mudflaps too. Thinking of getting a set myself to protect my paint from stone chips from auto-x.

I think the mesh grill is what sets your car apart..... never been a fan of the mesh kidney grills myself, but I think it would look really great on your car. way to individualize your ride......

Screw that, I'm a noob and I still know better. So I'm going to come out and say it, because a know people want to... ...the mud flaps gotta go dude! jk, I'm just messing with you. The car looks great! I can't wait for my iCarbon lip to get here! Still debating on painting it though. And I love the CF diffuser, might get that in dry CF. So many things, so little money, lol. I'm not going to hate on the ///M badge (hell, it comes with it everywhere else on the car), but it does look slightly crooked though. Maybe its just the camera angles. |

Thanks for all the nice comments chaps.
Mud flaps - as they say, each to there own. I like them as it gives the car a lower look from behind and it helps to preseve my paint. "M" badge - Well, as one of you said, it's everywhere else on the car and it's "almost" an "M" and quicker than most "M's" so "what the hell" Next is the Mesh grills in Pwder coat black like the FMIC grill and Matt Black surrounds. Then it a new set of rear tyres, I am going to go with the 335 tyres thiss time for 10mm more rubber on each corner as I'm staying with the RFT's. Oh yes, the FMIC. I have the Forge one fitted and I cut the cross strut and "V" piece of plastic out with a "wire saw" it took all of 10 mins to do and the bumper stayed on. I prefer the look and it gives better air flow. The old grill is removed, so it's only the mesh grill.

Hope to get a CF roof spoiler next. Then I will be looking for CF side skirts, but only if my Mud Flaps will still fit ![]()

looks good, the mud flaps dont really bother me. I would paint them SR
the ///M badge doesnt bother me, since like others have said, there are at least 5 that i see every single day, just getting in/out of the car. Just the placement looks funny but ive debaged every car on their first day home |

Love the pieces and looks REALLY sharp, but not the prominent logos of their work. Would be nice to have the same options without free advertisement.
Regarding the ///M... Looks out of place, and frankly, our cars were not a product of the Motorsports division... To each his/her own though.. but it does look out of place to me. |
