[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1286052, member: 3828"] I hear you. Being new to the "tank wrap" piece (first Gens didn't have 'em) I think I'm not a big fan of them at all. And the silver seems to get scuffed up by pretty much anything in the neighborhood, including zippers on my jacket or pants. I'm not sure I am a fan of the Fake Carpet Fiber (FCF) look yet, though Jasen's picture looks very good. I mean, it's a bit disingenuous to pretend to have high zoot carbon fiber when you really just have a patterned plastic wrapped piece of plastic. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/IMG] But maybe some matte black plastic wrap down there would look better than the out of place silver? That and the silver side panels of the '14 could stand some matte blacking out. The red (pink?) is shiny enough already. [/QUOTE]
