That CF wrap looks fantastic! You hit all the rights areas to give the hyper blue some perfect accents.
But man, those seats would be a nightmare to get in and out of every day. |

May I ask where you get your CF wrap? They look awesome. When I checked your first post, I thought they are OEM.

all you need now are some green takata harnesses to complete the bride seat look.

lol yeah well it is what it is at this point. got a great deal on the original set posted i got which was 2 wedge brackets 2 bride reps $600... cant beat that since even rep seats go for $700-800 a pair. I did it to save my hyper blue seats from wearing for value reasons obviously. I did do my research and honestly from hard evidence, most japanese bride seats even today arent fia certified. Also they seem to to break the same way from reps as originals. This is just beating a dead horse to those oppose to rep seats but again it was the build I was going for! Later on ill go to Corbeau which ultimately is also not FIA certified... |

My friend bought them for me but he told me just google/ebay 5d vinyl wrap carbon fiber there should be a couple floating around ebay but it was $60 for 10ft. Remember 5D is what your looking for.

I don't mind the hood. It flows with the other carbon fiber and black bits. I just don't like the chrome Pep Boys mesh grille in the scoop.
