Talking 25k make over - True fire over Carbon Fiber, and an x-men chick in the flames

After 8 months the 03 z is finally coming along!

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.

Thumbs up

If the hood is any indication of the final project, I say that it is going to be a show-stopper.

I'd hate to say this, and please don't take offense because it's just my opinion, but I think that looks absurd. A 350Z isn't the kind of car you put flames (or any images) on, it's the kind of car that is attractive because it's sporty yet classy in stock form. 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.

I think the end result is going to be quality but as it is now I can't imagine what that will look like.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I really can’t have people who don’t sponsor me posting pictures of my car. I have picked up one sponsor already, so he gets first dibs on the pics. Plus I have 5 coats of a special paint on the doors. Pictures of these doors will mislead your customers.

If you would like to sponsor me, that’s a different story. The only CF part I don’t have is the Carbon Creations full CF rear bumper. I need the drifter 2 bumper, but everyone I contact say they cant get it.

I got all my parts from Intense motorsports. I do require sponsors, so any assistance would be appreciated.

V/R,
Tom

I thought about that, but I just spent 8k matching the color of the wheels.

Im in need of sponsorships, so maybe we can talk about other parts. I have one sponsor who will take care of the turbo, fuel system and ecu. I have the tein springs installed, but would love to upgrade to the coil overs. I also need interior parts and gold splined lug nuts. I don’t want to fiberglass everything in the interior and add weight, so im looking towards steering wheels, sparco seats and harnesses. Im going for style and class, not to show how much money I spent on tv's for a 2 seater.

Any help getting the car sponsored would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

There are several other cars out there with the true fire flames, so I wanted something different, and most people like a hot chick.

Just wanted to be different.

Thanks for the input.

I guess that means you like it. I didnt put Jessica on the hood, because I think someone actually may put a special wax on the car. LOL.
