So you are painting the entire car, and leaving all the CF unpainted?

Well, CF is BADAS$.........BUT just cause it looks sweet, doesn't mean it looks sweet on everything, ie: fenders, random panels.Paint your fenders, im sorry but it looks like shiiit

The bumper is sweet though

Does the $3k include the engine, door sills, and trunk sills? Sounds about right, the hardest parts are those areas, the rest of the car is easy to paint

I can ask around with the car club that I run with. Have you seen that local ford expedition that is bagged, blue and silver with Alpine audio/video in it? It has been at Caspers the past few years. He is the guy that is doing mine. He works at a body shop in J-town and has been painting for like 30 years. I can ask him about it if you want.

The guy doing mine was guessing around 2500-3000 with all the detailed stuff, but he is gonna sit down and figure it out tonight or tomorrow. I will let you know what he says and ask around the next couple days...

Don't do DG. Every other coupe is DG. I would say go with a R34 skylnie blue, or go all black, and just clearcoat the CF

Im with Lawy'du on this one! That'd be bad *** (the combination of blue w/ cf parts always looks nice)...or all black would be nice too w/ reclear of cf parts.

Either way I think its gona look bad *** when you have it all completed. But one thing id' do (my opinion) is add cf to the middle of your front bumper. Just like the GTR Proto concept.

Cant wait to see the finished product!
