I like parts of it, but it is waaaaay too expensive for what it is.

EDIT: That's the IPL I am talking about. The lights look good Chris....

Roof spoiler contrasts too much w/ the black roof & black tinted window

I do think that if you had the roof cap with the sunroof delete done in carbon fiber then your good. Not sure how the weaves would play out though.

I know a guy that can do the cf laminate to ensure the weave matches... obviously not the exact setup you want, but an option for aesthetics.

I think I know what you were going after, but I think the brightness of your headlights distracts the eye from your car..

Also, if you're gonna back away from the car, and it's going to be that small in the composition, you want to ensure it's not right dead in the center..

There are cases where you can get away w/ this, but the car has to be larger in the composition and the background has to more interesting than an empty parking garage to pull that off..

I do like the color and quality of light coming from the background, I just want to see more of your car lit.. Your car is so sick, I feel cheated w/ this pic w/ so much of your car in darkness.. Did you take more in this location?

I've never been a fan of roof spoilers, I think it interrupts the natural sexy lines of the G. Especially if you have a trunk spoiler already, or a custom trunk.. I sold mine to JD w/out ever mounting it (got it free from a vendor for messing up my order.... NO, NOT STRAFE)..

You have a really nice color scheme going, and to introduce another texture to it makes your car really busy when the sexiness is in it's simplicity.. You've always had the "less is more idea" going for you w/ the full nismo theme going.. And that lends itself nicely to your mixture of show and go..

Your build is really solid, always has been, but bottom line is it's your car, so do what makes you happy.
