Two tone carbon or not?
Just curious as to what you guys think about adding the carbon roof overlay and A pillars. I've seen a few DBZ's with it but none with gold wheels. Not sure if they would clash. I know its my car btw, just wanted some opinions. Heres some pics of what it looks like at the moment.

cf hood, cf hatch.. why not do the pillars and roof? would look a hell of a lot more complete.
I would do it, if that was my z.

I'm more of a painted CF with a few CF accents person.
If you wanted to get the CF roof and pillars to complete the look it would still be rad.

Roll the dice. Looks good now, will probably look good with the additions as well.

I am gonna do the two tone thing, however I am going the other way. Considering getting a CF Lip Kit instead.

I spent a good part of my working life around carbon fiber missile structures. I thought it was ugly even when it wasn't fake.

I was actually thinking about the mirrors but they're not powered and it would **** me off if someone just walked by and messed with them and Id have to keep adjusting it. (I work at a school so the kids are AHOLES)

Is that black CF? I can't see any fibers in it... maybe just poor pic quality. I say do it.

How does having the license plate in the grill opening right in front of the radiator affect engine cooling? Looks like that would cause overheating.
