I wouldn't call any of seibon's cf real at all. Your doors are probably a different issue, since I've heard you can loose up to 100 lbs with those. Plus they are made by a company other than seibon...

exactly. Further, if you are just going to paint the "cf" anyways, why are you getting cf quarter panels?

Your car has great potential. I personally HATE the GTR front on G's, but it's not my car. I love the CF fenders and doors. Personally, I don't think you should paint any of it. Then, it loses it's appeal and it becomes a waste of money. I don't think a full CF G would look good, but again, that's just my opinion. As for the wheels, if your car were dropped, it wouldn't look bad. Nobody likes em on a car that doesn't look stock because a lot of people have them. But, they're not a bad wheel. And for your current color scheme, I think they work.

Honestly, as your car sits, there's only a few things I'd change (i mean, outside of your end vision). And I don't think it looks fugly at all. Just high.

OP the only thing I would recommend would be the painting of the CF sides and doors (the doors are sick by the way).
My taste in cars/builds are all over the place. I just dont slap on random parts. I actually think about what my theme is going to be. Whether its for the track, daily driven purpose,all show, track & show, and VIP styled or 100% VIP.

My explanation:

Purchase some sort of suspension. Whether it be springs or coilovers
(ex:HKS hypermax,Tein CS,JIC magic,D2 any type of spring combo)

Also, i would purchase some type of after market wheel. (ex: Jline,HRE,IForged,Volk,Work,SSR,FiveAxis,AME,Advan , 5zigen)
I dont think Axis Pentas are a good wheel choice for you theme. Just my .2$

The OP car has alot of potential, if the correct parts are used. I see where his theme is going. But like i said, he just needs some direction on how to take his build to the next level.
Personally, I would like the car more if the OEM where silver still and had some sort of drop.None rack look!

OP car has potential like Redskyline G coupe. He executed his theme pefectly



Once again. Im not hatin, just giving constructive criticism

i saw the build of this vehicle from start to finish..he had the first gtr front,his car was the prototype..this car was executed perfectly..but his budget seemed to be alittle more flexible than mine as well..it seems the build of this car was completed in amere few months

You all need to see it in person pictures dont do it justice. At the CARL CASPER CUSTOM (national) car show the guy who runs the show came up to me and told me that our car BY FAR got more compliments than any other "newer" car there. He personally ask us to make sure we make it in next year because he will be saving us a spot.

Mike knows what he wants and it will be that one day but he is scraficing for me, our son and our wedding that is coming up soon! Give him a year and then lets see where it is!

Plus i bought the GTR bumper!
