In the UK we are all wanting to remove the rear fog and you want to add it :lol:
I know exactly what you mean. The reason you guys want it off is almost all of you have it so its not something rare! Here there are only a hand full probably less than 10 so its rare.

Another Update:

Cluster trim had a glossy carbon vinyl on it and it reflected the gauges too much and was annoying at night so i ripped it out.....

You could see the glossy carbon, and the glue that was left on the trim piece.
Image

After the glue was all cleaned up...the pile on the left is the glue.....
Image

I got this carbon Vinyl off of ebay and its pretty awesome. Was going to use it for a few interior trim pieces to give it some accents.

Image

Here it is all back together!
Image

And in the car!
I'll take a better pic with some better lighting but its not easily seen and very minor difference. And i Like it!

Doing this as a trial, as there are mixed reviews i thought i would give it a go and see what happens....

Vinyl wrapped the spark plug cover. It's got some imperfections but what i'm most concerned about is how well it holds up in the engine bay.

If i go with this color or close to this color for the VC i think the CF plug cover will look awesome on it!

Drove it for 15 minutes and nothing happened still looked the same, will be going for a one hour drive soon and will check it again. Here it is on the Temp cover for testing.
