Looks really nice. I love the black vinyl on the rear. What shop did the work if you don't mind me asking? If you see a black car slowing going by yours when it's parked at work and some dude staring at it, don't worry it's just me being a creeper trying to get a closer look.
The weather isn't the best here, but the summers are great!

Or HIDDEN functional hood pins.
The total other end of the spectrum from
the stick on appearance only hood pins (YUK).
This seperates the boys who want the show
from the men who want the functionallity only.

COSMETIC hood pins are poser and to me, rice.

The hidden ones would have been nice, but I couldn't see swinging $200 for em right now.
I bought the Drake's new and had them installed for $220, so I cant complain. They look good and will more than serve their purpose.

Pics are in post 14 
The shop cut it. They had a gloss, flat, and a carbon fiber-ish one. The flat was the only way to go though.

As far as hood pins go I like these. Found them at the Cervini's website. https://www.cervinis.com/product.asp...1&id=1208#7104

Oh yeah, flat black is the way to go. Nice you got a custom cut. I got mine from rocky mountain graphics and it wasn't cut very well. Actually the emblem hole was just a tad too large and I had to wrap the sides around the trunk lid.

My damn lanyards are rusted.
No one told me they were supposed to be soaked in oil.
I had them for 3 years and I guess they got rusty within the last year.
I'm going to have to get a new set of hood pins just for the freakin lanyards now.
