Dead as in lose all your money that you put into the car or dead as in your life? Why would replacing all the exterior body with CF be putting your life in greater danger? Isn't the frame of the car the real thing that saves your life and not the exterior body?

Not worth it in my book. Im pretty much dead as it is if I get into an accident, I dont need to seal the deal. Plus that diamond black color is kick ***.

Knock on wood, but what happens if someone keyed your car or hood? How do you go about fixing that? You're not worried? Not wishing that on you of course, but just wondering...

Nope. Just clear the car and wet sand it.

1st I find em and shoot em.
2nd it stays in a garage, and I really dont plan on leaving the car alone to often.
3rd, the airbrush guy is good enough to fix the damage.

If this is soley intended to be a "show" car, then what you've done looks amazing so far. However, if you intend to keep it as your daily driver you might have problems. I couldn't see you pulling up to the grocery store in that car....

I'm not a big fan of putting any kind of graphics or designs on cars (save for racing stripes on certain cars) because I think it cheapens the look of the car, makes it look like a toy.
And to have an X-Men character painted on the hood of your car...I don't even know what to say to that.
Like I said, this is just one person's opinion so don't take offense. If it matters I do think that the actual artwork is very impressive.

19" Volk GTC in diamond black(6 mo wait, and they dont fit).
Fresh diamond black paint job and all the carbon fiber you can buy for a 350Z.
Seibon, Carbon Creations and top secret.
5 coats of a special transparent color to add depth to the carbon and remove the brown. It makes the CF look like a black and gunmetal weave.
The CF consists of :
CC - n1 kit and a vador wing (most of their stuff doesnt fit)
Seibon - Hood, fenders, doors, mirrors, hatch (every thing fits great)
Top Secret - A and B pilars.
Ohh last but not least the true fire flames over the bumper, fenders and hood.
Almost forgot, within the flames is the Dark Phoenix from X-men 3.
Keep in mind, nothing is cleared.
Let me know what you think.

Back around 1994 this guy up in Yucca Valley used to to custom paint jobs, he took this black maxima and painted flames like yours, but instead of painting Dark Phoenix he painted Hellraiser on his hood, the thing looked wicked and one of the most awesome paint jobs I've ever seen...
Everything looks cool about your car, but I think I would of gone with something a tad more cool looking then Dark Phoenix.. just my opinion tho..
