You can't see it because the CF color is similar. If it is a black one, it probably more visible. Still, a nice add.. very nice.

around 20 hours of work for everything - NO JOKE! Thats total time of work too, opening the lights, cleaning the old glue, re-molding the headlight, prepping the CF, molding it, then re-sealing it.
