I have a question that would like some advice.

I have CR coming with Satin black wheels and yellow calipers. I had KI studious make me satin black winglet end caps and "3.8" is cut out in script. Now, CR is a darker red and I do not think the "3.8" will stand out. I was thinking to laying down first yellow wing end caps and then place the Satin black over it so now the "3.8" will show in yellow and play off the PCCBs brakes.

What do you all think?

You've done one of the most creative mod packages I've seen yet on a GT4, so I'm sure you're on the right track whatever you decide.

I suck at visualizing things but I tried my best with what you describe, and I vote for sticking with the CR "3.8" on the wing end caps. But I might quickly change my mind if I saw your car with yellow "3.8" script. I think this is something you will need to experiment with by doing a trial fit, hopefully without wasting any material. Also think it will make a difference if you intend to do the "GT4" on the scoops in yellow like some have done. That might make too much, or not enough, yellow when you add or don't add the yellow "3.8" on the wing end caps. Whatever you do, enjoy the journey, and I'm sure it'll end up looking great in the end.

I didn't do it today, but last Saturday on the way to Monterey I hit a coyote. $18,000+ in damage. I think PETA may also have a warrant out for me because the coyote died.

Doesn't anyone remember the 2007 BMW 320D meets fox incident in Germany on the autobahn?

On a more serious note, I hope that your OK, and that insurance is picking up the repair. If the Coyote did get sucked into the engine bay, then a 4L rebuild might be needed...

To get to the engine bay the coyote would have gone thru me too so no 4.0 rebuild is OK. It is covered by insurance so I'll be getting about 18 years of premiums back .

I think the winglet caps would look better just in all black. Wait...I have those

Since you're asking...the 3.8 cutouts are a bit too much, but the CR dark red will kinda attenuate that to some degree, so it's a bit more subtle which is gooder!

Just put these in last night. i really like the gts tinted tail lights much better than the stock gt4 tail lights, they just look more "special" and are more befitting of a gt car in my opinion.

Really Nice....Are these stitched in Guards Red? Suncoast? Cost and how did you order these? Specifications...

Was wondering for some nicer mats and been on the fence with trying to find something like this or mats with a Vinyl Red wrapped edge which is more prominent.

Where exactly are you getting the yellow accents?
Actually Monday to this afternoon. It's 9H ceramic pro with multiple layers except on the Xpel which is one layer. One day was lost because it was too humid. I can't wash the car for 2 weeks and then bring it back for a new coating layer which will bring out the shine. Got the yellow GT4 emblems done but a disclaimer that my detailer was not happy with the back emblem so they ordered new yellow ones. Not sure if the pics will do any justice but here are a few. I like it so far and it's amazing how water repellent the coating is!

Well, fox me! We have foxes in Australia, but I'd rather hit them than a 'roo (or wombat, or echidna).

Wanted to get some opinions as to whether yellow vinyl end caps would look cool or a bit much? Thanks!

^ Agree - leave on and when sick of them take them off. I do not like them fully wrap. I like the KI studious ones' because they just lay on the outside, only, and look very clean - no creases
