Im actually very happy with the way it sits now.
I felt that if I did the rest of the roof carbon fiber that it would be over bearing. I originally thought I was over doing the cf to much with the roof cap.
But by keeping the a arms the same color it set my apart from the two tone z with a black top and random color bottom which to me is just bleh

Your car looks sick! I'm not so sure about the fog lights, though, since it doesn't match anything drawing too much attention to it.


BTW, that "comparison" pic is a horrible one. The sun should be hitting both cars (preferably with them facing the same direction) for us to get a better comparison.

Well anyone with a brickyard z want to volunteer there time this weekend to meet up and get some more professional shots roughly in the ventura/valley area?

And as I said in my first post I don't generally run around with the kc's in I just haven't found time to uninstall them there my weekend canyon running lights. Specifically for that purpose function over form i experimented with my 05 head lights and painted them rather badly I might say so iv lost all use of my high beam. I'm still trying to aquire painted 06 but until then I'm fine with the setup I run

It looks way better than I anticipated... Very nice job!

I don't like fogs on Z's but they fit your needs, so you get a pass! haha

Lol, my first though was "nice job, nissan did it in 2003!" but after seeing the comparison pictures it's clear that brickyard much lighter than black cherry.

Here's a pic of my buddy's Black cherry supra, his is much darker though, at night it just looks black.



Your car is sorta of a shade between the two but it looks great none the less

Oh and he's no longer rocking the ruff's on the supra, he's rolling on hre's now.

WOW! I love your setup man, I really like what you've done with it!!!!! I think some 06 style lights (painted semigloss black w/ black cherry projector shrouds) would look AMAZING on this.
