Don't know why they bother me, but they do. I pulled into my dealer this weekend and saw this sitting there on the lot. It didn't look quite right, so I went up and took a look and it's completely fake. The hood is metal made to look like carbon fiber in addition to many other things. On the back he has a sticker that reads "Illest" yeah, smh. Someone spending all that money to make a car look like fake crap. I'm sure we all have stories, but this one is really bad to me.

Carbon-look vinyl wraps are very high on my "poser" list.

Still think it's better than the people that do up their Carreras to look like Turbos....

I suppose I don't want to sound argumentative but I kinda like it. I do think that Cf vinyl wrap looks a bit cheap on a large panel, but nothing wrong with a inexpensive reversible experiment.

Isn't that the Vorsteiner VR-T body kit? That is pretty bad *** actually. The GT2RS sticker and fake carbon fibre hood...not so much.
