Finally getting somewhere on the outside and think it is almost time to paint.

Finally having the front lip painted gloss black on the V3 bumper and I am adding these 06 - 08 lights painted ppw "https://my350z.com/forum/lighting/478411-custom-ppw-bi-xenon-headlamps.html". I am also painting the entire hood except the vents.

Now I need to decide on the fenders.

1. Paint all cept outer lip and paint the edge of the V3 black.
2. Paint all cept outer lip and leave it offsett on the bumper.
3. Paint the entire fender cept a type of F1 spot CF.
4 Paint all cept outer lip and f1.
5. Paint all I hate CF and the world.

So please post up of what you think I should do and sry for the cheap 5 sec paint fix but I think it gives the idea of what I am thinking. If anyone Can photo shop it the pic is from my thread when I got my CW sides.

Thanks

 

If it were me, I would do something like this...

 

Nice, I like that as well!

 

panda color scheme is ugly and played out.

 

Tell us what you really think!
Why dont you post up pics of your Z Mr Original gangster.

Furthermore I do not know of another Z on this forum or anywhere with painted CF fenders in this style that I am posting about. If you do please post up!

 

idk but imo the cf everywhere is getting old. painted black looks better than all the cf

 

Ehh, the second picture definitely looks better. It would be better if you had vented carbon fiber fenders so that you could paint around the lines of the vent if that makes sense.

With all of that black and white, why red lipped wheels? I would get some new wheels first.


Also, are you going to paint the hood like this?

 

paint all white

 

Yea and because I have decided not to go all CF thus is why I am painting but I am not going to paint the bottom CF Black, rather leave some CF.

 

Yea wish the fenders where vented as well thus the delema as I want some CF to show.

The wheels are going to be powder coated white.

Yes the hood will be painted cept the vents but idk about your pic as I can not view embedded/photo bucket pics when at work.

 

Was thinking this but would make me regret getting CF fenders and not keeping stock. Thus I want somke CF to show.

 

Option 4 (even though it's the fifth option), and I would cut myself

You should have made this a poll.

Actually, if it were me and my car, I would go similar to the schift's 'shop, 'cept I would paint match the side skirts down to the lip and leave just that bottom lip CF. I would also incorporate abushong504's idea about painting the hood and leaving the vents exposed.

I favor painted CF with a some exposed parts as an accent. It's a little more subtle look, and it looks like your car is complete instead of in a constant phase of a build. For example, what schift did with the emblem on the fenders. The fenders look stock, but when you see the emblem you realize they are not. See? Subtle!

 

Step away from the knife! j/k

It was a poll but had to leave for work so cancelled but thread without poll stuck.

I feel the same, in my pic I started I will paint the side skirt down to the top lip so it lines up better with the front bumper lip.

Yes I am thinking of this paint scheme for the subtle look as well.

 

I think you'll have a winner with that

I like those side skirts, BTW. What are they?

 

Seibon C-West replica.

 

Correct! Fitment is great.

 

Thanks, think I am fianlly getting content with my Z.

 

White looks clean. Leave some accent pieces black. Looks sharp with black wheels

 

Thanks, I am going to have the lip of the wheel powder coated white/Pearl but the center spoke black.

Getting this done to flow with a set of 06 - 08 Cin city lights painted PPW

 

I agree with this racist.

LOL
