Default need some opinions on carbon fiber styling :)

I got a silverstone Z, and so far I bought a V3 hood in CF, CF Mad Eyelids, CF B-Pillars, & CF A-Pillars.

For the rear I haven't decided what I want to do yet. Either I'll get both a CF Hatch & a CF Wing, or I'll get just a CF Wing. I'm like 50/50 on the CF Hatch... Now for the wing, any opinions on what type of CF Wing would look good? I'm leaning towards the V2 Wing. If I get the CF Hatch, then I'll get the wing in all CF. If I keep the silverstone hatch then I'm thinking I'll get it two-tone.

Finally, I think I'll just finish up with a CF Lip kit + rear diffuser.
But yeah, if anyone has any input, pictures, suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
I don't care if you don't like what I'm doing or not, I just want to get some more style opinions before I finalize the other half of the car! So, constructive criticism only please

Thanks.

I wouldnt put a wing on a c/f hatch, bro. Its either hatch or wing imo. SOme hatches already come wit wing styled in the mold, like the ings+1 looking wing, i think.

Thats an Asuka Hatch..... Mastergrade makes ones now..... go to there website or contact them on this forum.... between that and if you get the "Plexi???" rear window... it saves a good bit of weight.

he doesnt have the Amuse front diffuser, i can already tell you that. You would be able to see the side of it at that angle.

Also, mastergrade aint doing so well with servicing ppl on this site, i wouldnt use them.

M1 had an exact copy of that Asuka hatch as well, in c/f and in FRP, but now idk where the hell they went on this forum.

BTW black350, there are pics of the Amuse kit ALL OVER this site as well, you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

I have the mastergrade hatch similar to that asuka hatch. The only downfall with the spoiler is when it rains it tends to collect water puddles.

Blackout...... did the asuka roof go under and mechanically fasten where the apillars are... or is it another "stick on"??? I was thinking about getting it b/c I didn't like the idea of a stick on like mastergrade etc....
