Sorry, not feelin it.... it seems weird for me.... I feel it's being isolated at one particular place...no offense... if you add some black rims or blackened some other parts, like hood, or trunk, maybe it would turn out fabolous...JMHO

Good quality paint though....

PS: I was refering to the black roof, the rest looks great

I know what you're saying and i feel the same way after getting the car back. I love it how it is but i know that i need some black wheels to set it off. Eventually i'll be getting some 20" wheels with a black face and polished lip. Either a mesh design or a 5-6 spoke, havent decided yet. In the mean time i'll most likely end up PC'ing the coupe 18's gloss black.

Welcome to the club! Congratulations on finally stepping up and getting this done Grant. I'd definitely powdercoat the 18's in the meantime, as the standard wheel color detracts from the whole look...

in that case i would just wait for the cf hood. do you know if there are any plans for a cf hood for 05+ sedans?

Looks great Grant! We need to put 6/10 gtr Overlays on your tails now. The 3/10's just dont cut it .

Love the black roof as well. I think I'll do that on my NSX .

The badges on the side are the GT emblems, i like em so they're stayin.
I didnt give the shop any specific paint code, just told em to paint it gloss black and they did a damn good job.

I have to detail the rest of the car and then i'll get a more formal photoshoot with extreme4377. I woke up early before work and snapped these ones.

slap some "wet" on those tires, b4 your pics
ditch the beads on the rear view mirror=gay
got to say no to the fender badges
Looks great!

I am saying the pics that you will take--make sure your tires are wet....not talking about the pics you have up now....Believe it or not......some people detail their g, do a shoot and leave their tires parched
Beads--coming off--good.

Peace

Looks great! I love the black top. I have been kicking around painting my top black (I have a DG) but I am too much of a wuss.
