This is probably because more ricers are discovering the $7-9K off MSRP deals that you can on the 8.

The real deal ones look better and match perfectly with the MS strut bar. I got them from a forum vendor but has since gone out of business.

Considering the price of the real stuff, most owners will just stick to stickers. I just cracked a clip on the battery cover and I couldn't justify the cost of paying 99 US dollars for one since it doesn't really perform other function except wow factor.

Tape vs. CF....? Hmmmm?!? Lets think about this...
He invested his cash on a turbo instead of wasting it on something that doesn't
make him go any faster
Hats off to you bud!

But in that same breath you could say, if someone is willing to spend the money on a turbo, then why cheap out on appearance? Kinda like buying an expensive house and filling it with furniture made out of particle board and balsa wood.

The turbo installation is about 50% done, I worked on it for about 4-5 hours today and completed most of the difficult tasks which believe it or not is removing the stock parts such as the exhaust manifold etc. I'll let you guys know when I'm done.
