damn son. sell me that hood

 

Wow! Looks good and very clean.

 

any better shots of the wheels?

 

the first pic? other than that no.. but ill take some more tomorrow.

 

idk about the hood but the rest of the car i like

 

Ditch the headlights.

 

It looks good- minus the Skyline/350 Gt business. I love the fact that you painted some of your carbon fiber. I so rarely see people do this, and it is so refreshing to see it done. If you were to paint the trunk as well, your car would be a masterpiece.

Please don't try to manage discussion of your car by telling us what we can and cannot comment on. If you post a picture of your car online and ask for opinions, people can comment on whatever portion of the picture they like. Including: people, houses, parts, other cars, mountains, drinks, and or badges. If you like the badges, then that is all that matters. Trying to preempt comments with such a request is silly considering this is a forum.

 

^ i just didn't have any idea how to paint the trunk in a good way that would still leave some of the carbon fiber looks. i would've done that if i knew how lol. oh for the second part, this is why i wrote that above, i dont want to deal with this stuff. it has been discussed so many times but everything back to personal preference. i can discuss this again but i dont want to turn this to a flaming thread. so stop discussing about that and respect the thread and the request i made please. thanks though!

 

I see and agree how it would be difficult to leave parts of it unpainted. The only thing I could think of doing is getting a molded lip style CF spoiler and leaving that portion unpainted and actually painting the trunk.

Did you get the carbon fiber trunk because of the potential weight savings or did you get the carbon fiber trunk because you like the look? If it were my car, I would just paint it, but it seems most people get carbon fiber because of the look and could care less about any weight savings. It's much more about- "Look! I have carbon fiber parts!" Not bashing anyone who has unpainted cf parts or saying that they all fall into such a category, but I meet a lot of people who do.

We will just have to agree to disagree on the whole asking people not to comment on certain portions of your car thing. If you want comments, post your car. If you don't want comments, don't post your car. Basic forum logic.
Attempting to divert comments away from one area or another by specifically asking people to not comment on said area tends to have the opposite effect.

 

^ i got the cf hood cos of those both points. and for the trunk, i was actually wanted to get the strafe v1, paint the trunk and leave the lip CF, but i had it wrong and didn't want to pay another 300 for wrong order..

i don't wanna say anything more since i dont want to keep continuing on this thing. say whatever you want but hey looks! people who commented earlier than you have respect my choice not to discussing about the emblem. and they all senior here..

 

I like the look of the Strafe trunk, I didn't realize it was available in cf. I think that would look very well done with just a portion unpainted.

If you are able to fine a good shop, or just a good tech, bounce some ideas off of him. He will probably be able to give you some direction on what he could do with that. I could even see a fade from cf to IP paint job from the rear window back. That could be difficult, but just an idea. (kind of difficult to explain too... I wish I were good with PS.)

Again, I agree, I don't think there would be a good way to paint just a part of an OEM style trunk without it looking ridiculous.

 

update pics.. change rims to xxr 521. i know i need spacer..

 

Looks good. Lol @ the Fast and Furious RX8 in the background.

How do the quality of these wheels compare to the other ones? I am not sure which look is better, but they both look good.

 

excessive photo processing on that update pic
