Question Carbon on Lemans

Do carbon parts look good on Lemans? Interested in c-west lip and varis air duct and didn't know if i should paint the items or keep them in natural form. If anyone has pics i would appreciate it.

I must say i don't feel that a black and lemans all together....

on the other hand

https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/136724-do-luck-body-kit-on-lemans-pics.html

this thread has a fully le mans with a cf hood, which looks pretty good. still, imo le mans + cf is bordering rice, since it's super aggressive looking to me.

I think a few accent pieces would look ok. Personally I'm not a big fan of the LS w/ CF hood. However, Dean's Z w/ the Do-luck kit does look sweet. Just not for me though.

thank you guys for your opinions! I think I'm gonna go with out the carbon look. There's something about it that doesn't appeal to me. I like the do-luck kit alot though

At least someone on this thread likes it.

The head- and tail- lights are black now too, extending the theme. (No pics yet though).

And imagine it next year, when I get some black rims like 10secapsttz has.

Nope, hood and mirrors are CF, everything else is painted black (although in time, it will slowly become CF.-suitegraphix, autotecknic, seibon, mastergrade, and veilside all make CF components for what is now painted black.)

Are you doing the roof yourself? If you are looking to buy it, I know mastergrade has a CF roof overlay. That's the only one I've seen.

21112... don't get me wrong. I think your car is amazing. I just think it's to aggressive for me

Thanks for the compliments, and no problem.

I posted pics so you could see what options you have. I was just trying to show you what your car would look like with some CF, so you could make your own choice. I know how helpful it is to actually see how a part will look on your car before you buy it.

Too bad I couldn't sway you to the dark side (or the CF side)...but at least you know what you want.
