Here is a pic of my current engine compartment -
What do you think of adding some of the RkSport carbon fiber trim pieces to it? - coolant reservoir cover and master cylinder cover.
I am also looking at possibly doing some other carbon fiber trim on the outside and interior.
they would probably look good. got any bigger pics of the engine bay?

Get the smaller pieces but stay away from the valve cover.
I have all of the RK stuff but ended up selling the valve cover.
It made the car look too much like a toy - not enough metal showing.
Your existing valve cover looks great - I would just accent it with the CF.

I am looking at changing the blue trim that is in the interior as well to carbon fiber and adding the rear carbon fiber tail light trim too. I just want to change it around a little.
I do not want to go over board with it though - I guess I will just have to see how it goes with the tan interior and see what other subtle carbon fiber accents I can go with that will not over do it.
Ideas I am toying with are the coolant tank, brake reservoir and under hood fuse box cover, then going to carbon trim the outside door handles and add the 3 piece rear tail light filler . Afterwards moving to the inside with an interior trim kit.
Do you think it would be too much to do the outside mirrors and the pillars on the doors - this is a four door.
You can never have too much carbon fiber! My mirror covers will be here in about a week or so - can't wait!
You will also like the rear bezel.
If you want more carbon fiber stuff, especially interior stuff, check out my signature.
You can also find CF items at Tabasco Racing and Carbon By Design.
Get your CF stuff from RKSport from Jason at A Plus Performance - he is cheaper than RK.
If you would like to see some of the CF stuff you mentioned installed on my 03 Cav, check out the link that's on my Blue Cav Customs website.

I'm cuckoo for carbon fiber!

By the way, don't forget the crown jewel of CF:
The RKSport Radiator Cover
It's a beautiful piece and worth every penny.

I forgot I also want to do the carbon fiber eyelids.
In case you don't feel like going through 2 websites to see...
Hope this gives you some ideas!

Sorry, I totally forgot about the items you have - I have looked at them many times.
Yeah I want the eyelids, too but no one makes them for the 03-up yet.
Hint Hint, Ben!
Does everyone else agree with me that the CF valve cover takes it too far?

The rear bezel kit might be a bit much - maybe I will just change my black TYC lights to Carbon fiber TYC lights?
I think the CF would look nice for shows and whatnot, but for daily driving, I think you might want to take them off.

I have the CF lights with the rear bezel and I hate the combo. I'm replacing the fakey CF lights with the black ones - they just don't look good in my opinion.
Andrew - why do you say that? I have pretty much all of the RK Sport CF, and I drive the car to and from work every day with no ill effects. You just have to keep it clean and make a slight effort not to damage it while working on the car, etc.
Now I AM afraid to do the CF hood. My OEM hood has a few rock chips that I was able to get touched up - you lose that option with the CF.
I would never put a CF hood on a daily driver with my luck...plus there's about a billion dump trucks here in northern VA.

I say that because i have no experience with CF parts
, I figured something you spend that much money on you may not want to sulley.

Do they have a c/f valve cover for the 2.4??? I haven't been able to find one anywhere!!!
If you want to see, here is a pic of mine with the carbon fiber peices...
i really wish i could get a wiper cowl and the valve cover tho.
You could always mask off the high points on the valve cover, and paint it black and charcoal.

Brisk - RK doesn't have a valve cover available for the 2.4......................yet
They do have a sweet polished cover, though! Wish they had one for the Ecotec 2.2.
