Default White on White Carbon R

Just got my baby back from the paint shop and want to give my recommendation to Car Classics "http://www.customcarclassics.com/FLASH/index.html" in FL. Give Mark a call if you need any work specially custom work. Most places could not do work on CF where they leave some CF showing specially if it did not have clearly defined lines. Mark is the best I have seen and did it for a better price than many places wanted just to attempt this with no guarantee. Mark not only guaranteed the work but did not ask for nothing until the job was done and I was happy. Thanks Mark!


Well its been three years and and alot of cash/head aches but here she is:

I really admire people that take a unique approach to design.
Your car is very understated and at the same time,very one-of-a- kind.
I like the finisher around the fronr fender "Z".Is that CF?
I'm ordinarily not a fan of color striped rims.However,it seems to work on your Z.
Visually,the red stripes on rims make the car look like its sitting higher.
Any plans to drop it a bit?

^ This. Plus high stance.

Picture 003 of rear makes car look like a nasa space craft or something. Very, "shuttlesk" for lack of a better word. Not bad by any means, just reminds me of the space shuttle for some reason.

Wow you did great. Once the wheels are swapped you're set.

Correct that is Seibon CF from extra's off the rear mod.

Thanks, I like the red as well but I will be getting that lip powdercoated pearl next.

Was going to drop it but my drive way hits as is so I think I will hold off atm.

Yea figured I would get flamed for the wheel/drop but honestly I left them last as they are less important to me. The drop/wheel combo has to be perfect or it will simply sacrafice performance for the squashed look.... Just not my cup of tea.

Same here on the low driveway.I'm running a Mine's CF front lip.Clearance with OEM suspension is still difficult in many places here(hills..steep driveways).So,I've stayed stock.

Tks, it took some time to figure what I wanted and had to be told many times that they could not do it till I found the right shop. Was pleased to see my design completed.

Tks

Yea at first I was addicted to CF but my car started to look like patch work. I think this really tied everything together smoothly.
