Default Painted PPW Titek Duct (pics)

I had the holes fiberglassed, then had it painted PPW. What do you all think?

ok, dont take this the wrong way. im just gonna give you some constructive criticism.

1. the paint match is bad. ppw is so hard to match so it isnt a suprise.
2. would have looked 100% better molded, i wish i had some pics of someone who had it this done but it looked badass.
3. if i were you i would go back to carbon fiber.

ppw ftw!

Too many shades of white. I think it would have been better left alone.

Don't listen to these guys, everyone's a critic on these forums

I think it looks good. Paint does look a bit off but PPW is a b!tch and pictures often make paint differences stand out even more

I think it's original, and the paint difference might be just in the pics. In the second pic, the hood is clearly different than the bumper and the duct matches the hood more than the bumper.
I bet I'd like it in person better.

There are just too many rice boys on this forum that think exposed CF looks "hott".

I like it. Keep it. Be different.

Something different from all the rest. Already buffed the black off the side Z emblem and got rid of the orange blinker bulb. Just clear that headlight strip and it'll be cleeeeeeean. Nice job!

Besides the slight paint mismatch, I think it looks really nice. Nice attempt at getting it to blend in with the body. I've thought about doing something like this myself...but PPW is sooooooo stinkin' hard to match...as you know. +1 for originality and having a PPW!!!!

Thanks to All for the positive feedback. To the critics, I respect your opinion (sorda), I guess the haters know now that I Hate CF unless it is done ***** out.(thats rare)
only CF Hood-- hell no
only CF duct--hell no
only CF lip-- hell no
throw them all together, do the roof, do the hatch, and it looks pretty good. Anything less is just plain RiCe.

Anyways paint is a touch off, only noticeable to a trained eye. I am pleased with the rusults.
