I like it. If I had a black interior, I'd probably pursue this or some similar idea, over the OEM sliver aluminum-ish look.
NOT the radio-dash or the center console. Just the long pieces that go from the doors into the dash.

Flat black 3M CF wrap on my car currently, it's really nice as you can feel the texture of print rather than it being smooth.

That looks good in those pics. Do you have any other pics more close up under better light? I had a flat black carbon wrap in my Evo that looked pretty decent, but looked really fake up close. It was not very shiny. Some of the shinier carbon wraps I have seen look pretty good. Maybe it is just the light, but your wrap looks pretty shiny and clean close up.
Man your still at the wrap thing ehh? Well not trying to be Debbie downer here, but NO wrap will equal the real thing. Plain and simple.
If you want the cheap route, obviously go Vinyl but I would never do CF vinyl as no mater what you get (brand, 3d,4d,5d, textured, smooth) it ALWAYS looks cheap imo. Sure maybe from a distance + the right angle + the perfect light + professional photography...sure then maybe you have the stars aligned. Aside from those minor factors, when you look up close
If going Vinyl, do any other color besides CF.

Well I splurged yesterday and got some fancy Bosch Icon wipers. I really hope they last longer than the factory inserts I got when I got the car about 1 1/2 yrs. ago. We do not get a ton of rain here in WI and I have Diamond Fusion (Rain X that actually lasts longer than 2 weeks) on my windshield so normally wipers last a long time for me.
This is probably the biggest upgrade I have done on my car to date. I am expecting my mpg's to double due to the advanced aerodynamics and I heard they add at least 100 HP!
Here are some blurry cell phone pics of the "UUGE" difference in style/design

It is amazing how bad my stock wipers got. I did not realize how bad they were until I got the new ones. So far no complaints.
Today I did another oil change with my enormous FRAM filter so I have more capacity for the oil cooler.

So I have been having an issue with my passenger side MAF sensor after I did the Z1 cold air intakes, tune, and intake plenum. The car kept going into limp mode. MAF sensor cleaner seemed to work for about a week the 1st time and then it would go into limp mode almost every time I drove it. Two Sundays ago I swapped the MAF sensors to opposite sides and cleaned them again. Now I am getting close to two weeks without an issue (knocks on wood).
The biggest issue now just seems being able to get ahold of John at Z1 who did the tune. He had me send him a screen shot of the code in the ECU that I was getting last week Mon. and told me twice last week he would get back to me. I left him two messages this week and finally just got through to him today after being on hold for 15 minutes. It sounded like he still had not even looked at the screen shot and now he wants to send a cable out to me to data log the car.
Hopefully, the car just continues to work or they can find something from the data logs.
