Are you going for looks or performance (I'm assuming all the CF makes the car lighter)? Because in my opinion what you have right now looks worse than stock.

CF parts are tight, that front bumper is ugly. You should also move the SKYLINE emblem down further or take it off completely.

well since opinions are welcome here's mine:

Hideous.

When exactly was it when carbon fiber moved from a high strength lightweight alternative to steel and fiberglass to a fashion statement?

Why do people think visually exposing the weave of the body panel material as a finish looks trick?

Get rid of that hideously ricey front bumper, maybe pick up the carbon fiber TS replica bumper? Would look 100x better. Other than that, it looks good for what it is, an on-going project.

i like the idea that you were going for but you just slapped a bunch of cf on ur car, it doesnt flow well at all, too much contrast all over the place

Do the door panels stick out farther than the rear fender. As in, did you just slap a piece of carbon fiber on the door? Or did you actually remove the outer skin of the door and put CF in its place?
