Default opinion.. on white with carbon

hey i wanted to get opinions on white Z's with carbon front lip and sides.
i have a PPW and thinking about getting the C-West front lip, sides, and rears. couldnt find any pics of any.

thought i'd get the communitys thoughts. if anyone has any pics, can you post them up.
thanks

I have a PPW and am doing some mods over the winter. I suggest doing a CF front lip, and if you are changing the side skirts and adding a rear lip, paint them PPW. A nice offset for the CF front lip would be a simple black spoiler and a CF roof or a black vinyl wrapped roof.

if you paint the upper half of the cf pieces on that cwest lip kit it looks great. if you dont, it looks like a black and white jig saw puzzle. i had my cf cwests painted to have a clean straight lines. just havent installed them yet.

^^both are good advice. go full kit instead of just the lip it will look a whole lot better and you could install without paint and see what you think then paint later. on my nismo kit i chose not to apint the lower portion black like usual and thought i could do it later if i wanted... i am glad i didnt because full color match grew on me, but do what you like

I suggest you paint it all. You should also buy my authentic cf c-west skirts.
They will be Ridic cheap. I even have the box and complete instructions.

White with a carbon front lip is pretty nice.
Carbon sides... ehhhh yuck. Should look much better painted to match.

I think the two tone carbon and white would look good. Just make sure that it flows even around the car.

Something like this, even though its not the same kit.

^Looks good....

I personally think leave the front lip CF...and paint the skirts. It will draw better attention to the few darker subtle pieces.

However, I do like the look of Carbon all the way around, so long as its not too much, like the above car.

Either way, it comes down to personal preference, I think both will look good in their own ways.

I have a PPW that is most CF and it looks better if your going to leave the sides all CF then get CF fenders as well, it helps it flow alot.

Course one day my entire car will be CF!!!
