Time to get nimble
The GT4 skirts are very similar to the V12/V8VGT ones, but the rib is more molded on the GT4 ones so the exposed carbon fiber looks like its own piece when the rest of the skirt is painted. You can kinda see the extra ridge in this pic:
You also have the rims to provide some color offset.

I'm planning to do black window trim and carbon fiber side strakes to complete the look, and probably carbon fiber mirror caps, too
And you're right, I'm worried about the look getting flat if I go with too much dark trim, but I think it'll be okay. Worst case, I can always switch back if I don't like it!

Something in your email also buddy. Just FYI
Crappy cell phone close-up to show the extra molded ridge in the side sills

45 days now? Date keeps getting pushed back

Hopefully less than 30 if Reliable can get their act together and plan it right after the 17th. But, my luck doesn't dictate that. Probably in Nov.
Ordering parts from Stuart over the next week. Might as well have all waiting on the delivery.
I still have hope to find clears
Looks like VCollection is stepping up their game! I was pleasantly surprised to see their carbon fiber lip has the mirrored weave like the OEM stuff. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but I didn't think they did this, so I'm pretty happy about it!
Here are some shots comparing the N420 and VC carbon fiber front lips...
Big difference in size. The VC lip extends *almost* to the edges of the front bumper. It could actually extend an extra 1/2" or so and still be okay.

The undersides. Yep, one day of driving and I've already scraped the N420 lip

Mirrored weave on both of them.

And the overall look...

That was the deciding factor for me picking this one lol
