How about replacing all the plastic with Carbon Fiber?
Very nice. That's what I had in mine for my yj but couldn't find the tail light surround. Where did u get it from and is ur front chin carbon fiber as well?
Just did this today. No or VERY little (not even noticeable unless like looking right into the crease of the surround and tail lights from less than a foot...)

I got the majority of my CF from Seibon, at their website. I got the rockers, canards and front lip all in CF. When they make the upper and lower grille surrounds I will get them as well. I love the CF look with the HO.
Wyoming, have you thought about some fender work? Either in the rear, or the front? I'm thinking some front brake ducts would look cool and functional, and a straight rear panel from mr norms might give it a much better daytona/superbird look
I talked with HPP about some rear fender work, but I am not to sure about the out come (if I would actually like it). Front ducts is a good Idea, I never thought about it. HPP is making a Different rear panel now and I have thought about a change. I have not seen Mr. Norms rear panel. Thanks for the input.

Thanks. Another concern I have is how they fit? Any gaps or loose areas?
The fit and finish is perfect. The OEM tailight surround had small ripples and irritated me, but the CF is flat and perfect. The tail spoiler at the ends has a piece of foam 3m taped to the underside to cushion where it meets the quarters. However the way they taped it and the edges of the foam looked a bit dreadful so I peeled it off and redid it. There is no issue with clearance though as there is plenty. All of the front end parts fit well. The nose spoiler cants a bit higher than the OEM spoiler though, which, aesthetically is ok but for parking curbs and such is a god send. Again, the fit is perfect.
