Default the new 2 tone paint

Tell me what you guys think! I was thinking about a CF hood but I wanted the Z to match the graphite rims...still have to clean up some compound but think it turned out well. More pics to come.

Other then thr orange strips in the hood (I think they should match top of car) and the rims, I think its hot!!! Sorry, I have just seen too many cars that shouldnt have those rims, and they ruined them for me. You need some lips!! Lol

Looks great... I'm just not crazy about the wheels though.
But different strokes for different folks.

that's pretty sweet. I don't have money now but like you, I want to go two tone. Right now the car is Chrome Silver but I'm going Ferrari Red and midnight black. Picture this...all red except, CB hood, painted roof and CF hatch. I'm going dark tints so the windows all match closely to the black. If I get a spoiler, it will be black except for flares on side. Those I want to keep red. Props to the paint job.

Looks nice. I want to do something like that but with a carbon fiber hood. I have a SB car and wanted to leave those two grooves unpainted CF while painting the rest of the hood black. Just a little bit of CF to know it's there, but not enough to be "ricey" or anything like that.

That being said I really like the looks of that car. Nice work

thanks dude, if you like the car alone, wait till I get my 1000RR custom painted to match.



I'll get a side shot on Thursday, or if anyone wants to see the car in person, it will be at The Run in Tampa this Saturday the 24th.

Cool, I'll get to see it in person.

I was also interested who did the paint for you? I'm getting a lip kit/hood done soon and would like any suggestions on where to go.
