Default nice OR rice

i have some CF fenders that are being installed soon...
I dont want the CF to be too much so i decided to paint the fenders.
im also considering having the carbon fiber show invert style on the fender
but im unable to make a complete decision...

basically where you see the words on the fender you will see carbon under the paint to help show off the fender.


nice or rice?


appreciate your opinion




image flip... not right hand drive lol

I think if you paint them, showing a little carbon, will help blend in with the rest of the body. There are too many yellow Z's that follow the black / yellow paint scheme, mine included. So it does help to switch it up a little bit.

The words are just there for reference right? You're not putting those on there too?

You mean you're going to have the words touge tadem showing in CF on your fenders? That's massive rice IMO. Do your new fenders have any vents or louvers? I would leave part of the vents or louvers in CF if you wanted a inverted CF type of thing, otherwise just paint it all yellow to match your car.
