Yea, we need to see the Z in ANOTHER shade of silver.

My big regret about my car is that I went for the CS (3.5 week wait 'cuz it was already on the boat) vs. the Brickyard that I really wanted (8 week wait.)

That kit screams out for a masculine color - I say hot pink with Barbie stickers (2F2F!!)

Bahahahahaaaa

How bout primer black?? j/k


I think yellow would make the car look a little cheap.(excluding Axis Z of course) I mean the Lambo's looks nice in yellow because the lines are so straight. On the Z however...it needs more of a classy tone...especially on that kit...it's got so much going on it needs a color where everything on the car won't be "overstated".

Metallic blood red would be awesome....or a deep metallic blue.

Whatever color...hope it turns out great..good luck.

Update on the molding process. I'm going to show one side first w/out molding, then the other side w/ molding. It's looking incredible. The pics don't do it justice.

The fuel lid is a fiberglass piece designed to go with the widebody kit. It attaches the same way as the stock lid.

Yeah paint it Flat Black like that Diablo-R. That was awesome looking and not used in the States at all. I think a very subdued paint job looks mean on an agressive body.

Maybe you should keep the brickyard color in your paint scheme so you don't have to pull the motor and interior to do a full color change.
