Default My Z Two-Tone Carbon Project

It's a work in progress. Just waiting for the hatch, front lip, and rear diffuser in CF, then I think I'm done.
And yeah that IS a Decepticon badge (Transformers) instead of a Nissan one... Don't hate me.

Mods done so far :
  • Carbon Fiber Hood (Vented - V3 Style I think, I dont remember lol)
  • Carbon Fiber A-Pillars (NOT OVERLAYS)
  • Carbon Fiber B-Pillars (Overlays )
  • Carbon Fiber 'MAD' Eyelids
  • Black Door Handles (Semi-Gloss -> Thinking about going Glossy)
  • Upgraded to 06 Bi-Xenon Headlights
Mods coming soon :
  • Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers
  • Carbon Fiber Hatch (It will be BADGELESS)
  • Carbon Fiber Lip Kit + Rear Diffuser
  • *Carbon Fiber Roof (Undecided)
  • 19"+ Volk Gunmetal Wheels
  • Shorty Antenna
  • Tint Taillights?
  • ???
Again, the Transformers Badge is there for FUN until I get the Carbon Hatch. (ITS TEMPORARY LOL)

Looks good... Gonna look Sweet! May I suggest that you Carbon the mirrors? If you're going to have the top half CF you should do the mirrors since they sit above the line. Otherwise, very cool look.

Ah! Excellent idea. I just bought the CF Mirror covers lol. Totally overlooked that. Thanks!
Also, I'm not sure about the roof. Like I'm 50/50 on it. I like it because it gives it the top half full CF look, but then again, when it's silver, it gives it a really good two-tone look you know? (Roof, not to be confused with the hatch)

I'm eventally going to pony up for some Gunmetal Volk wheels.

I've owned a set of TSW Mondellos....nice wheels, but yours will look better with something more aggressive. Other than that I'd say you're on the right track. Keep us posted

Hm... I sense some sarcasm

Seriously though, don't put CF parts on your car one at a time and leave them unpainted. It looks...is rice.

Wet CF = fail. Dry CF or GTFO imo.

Sorry, I disagree, and I think the more CF the better wet or dry.... As long as it all matches same weave pattern.. Thats just IMO though..

The way he patched the cf now was fail, but he prob couldnt wait to install it.. I would rather wait till I have all the parts to install it all at once..

I installed them when I got them because I had buyers for the OEM parts that were replaced. Didn't want to lose them (the buyers) due to me waiting to install everything at once. And maybe MAYBE I couldn't wait...

Yeah, all same weave pattern.

Haha, sorry, once the CF Hatch is on, the Transformers/Decepticon badge is off!
