Not quite sure what you mean by trimed with - its the fake carbon fibre film. It actually just looks like mesh, and while it looks good there it looks much better in the metal as well!

It looks like there is a SS trim around the edge. Maybe it's an optical illusion.

Just found these. One of the most unique I've seen so far.



They are custom made, but the guy is willing to do the legwork and have some made for those who want a set. Just follow this link, if you are interested, for details.

I got bored last week and felt like doing some drilling...
Dems lots of holes!
Used the mettle sticker as a templet.
Started with a pilot hole.
Finished up with an air grinder to remove burs and debree.
Satin Krylon and stripes.

Time consuming but pleased with end result.
Got to be pretty for AMVIV!

Nice Boot!

Nice work BluMINI. The pinstripe decal adds an extra kick to the boot. Question? How much extra hp are you pulling with all that pinstripe? Seriously, looks hot, I for one am impressed...
Although, I do believe I may be absolutely biased

Hey Blumini.... how about a picture of the 'robmod' on your air intakes just below your windshield aka the 'dual mini scoops'? It deserves a look.... and some praise!

I just cut out some aluminum mesh, using the stock stickers as a pattern. Then I painted the mesh to match my stripe. I drilled four small holes and used stainless steel safety wire to hold them in place -- not bad looking, I'll snap a picture tomorrow if you are interested. The mesh is available in many auto stores -- got my at Eastwoods.
