They "stand out" in a bad way. Get them pinted, it will look mcuh better, and they will still be noticeable.

BTW, the peices look great.

I like that. Looks real good.

If you decide to paint it I would still leave the front lip carbon fiber, I think it looks sweet. But then again, I think the sides look good in carbon too.

I need to sell some more stuff on ebay, I want that lip and those side wings!

Please more info on the rear smoked lenses. (I want those too)

I third the demand for more info on the smoked taillights

The front lip looks good unpainted but for the flow of things the side skirt CF looks pretty odd standing out like that. Not a fan of the VS wing at all, but it's your car.

Otherwise nice, just looks like time for some new wheels and tires

since those side skirts are in cf, im not goin to paint them, otherwise, i shouldve gotten frp..but anyway, i really think those looked good, ive gotten mixed reactions so far so it really depend
on one's taste. i really like the carbon fiber theme look..on the smoked tail lights' check out this thread....

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....6693&highlight

and yes, i need a brand new sets of wheels..cant make up my mind on wether i would get an exhaust, or bad *** sound system (coz factory bose sucks big time), or the wheells first..would love to get all of these at the same time but i think u guys know how it is.....

Default "dress for success"...

Dude...paint those puppies!
I would definitely wonder about a date that shows up wearin' brown shoes with a blue suit.
Now if you're color-blind (pc= visually color-deficiant) ..get help.

Trust a girl..we know how to accessorise ;-)

I do luv your choice of brand (see my list). The little (version I wing) is cute. Just curious, is Veilside givin' you a discount for the windshield advertizin' (purposely silly spelling ..lol)?

BTW: I do , seriously, like your eco-friendly landscaping (xereoscaping?)..no lawn to fuss with :-)

That looks really nice. I like the contrast between the CF and the Silver. Don't listen to these prudes.

What did the CF kit run you?

I've been thinking about doing that on my Super Black. No paint.

I'm a huge fan of leaving the front lip carbon fiber but not the side kit. HOWEVER, the veilside side skirts are so suspended from the car..that it actually looks good in CF.

I'm sure it looks ten times better in person... the lighting in the pictures probably don't do it any justice.

nice car...congrats.

One of the rules in modding a car is:

If it's Carbon fiber, you leave it as is (don't paint it!).

It looks fine, the kit is not my style, but the CF is best left alone.

Default Very nice

Very nice! Race cars are made of Carbon Fiber because its a LIGHT material and has great strength not because it looks cool. I think its nice to paint the CF and get a smoother look and let everyone know that it is real. I've never seen a true racecar that didn't paint there car some type of color. I could maybe understand black though...JMO

You don't like the VS wing? I think it looks hot...gives the car a more 'race' feel to it. Its not huge...and I argue with my friends about this all the time cause I want one so bad. They feel it sticks out too far along the back and over the side of the trunk. You gotta consider how rounded the *** end is tho. If the car was straight up on the sides instead of rounded. Like those Caddy CTS's it wouldn't have that problem.

I've been tryin to decide between this and the Nismo racing...and I'm finally deciding to go with the VS cause of the overall effect. I don't like posts going up into the wing in the middle...and how in the nismo wing, the bottom of the posts are connected in the middle? Gives it a weird feel/look to me if they went straight down and connected to the trunk like a real post...maybe I'd feel a bit different...

i have the same kit and left everything in bare CF plus the kaminari CF hood to bad the read didnt come out in CF... the wing looks amazing and in the freeway you have to take 2 looks just be sure if its a Z or a porche thats driving by

I know it the bare CF looks clean on a black car. Im not sure about the other colors i have to check that in person.

Bro I gotta say your car is clean and smooth. You can only get away with CF bare on a black car. OH and your 18 inch wheels actually look great. When you see so many 19's you start to get brain washed.
