Haha, I said gunmental, anywho, I'm toying with the idea of making my Z look like this. What do you guys think? The more honest the better.

Did you mean to make the graphics look KIND OF like a Z? The silver paint in between the graphics look kinda like a Z.

my vote would depend on the reason for which the graphics are needed/wanted.
if you are being sponsored or work for a car company, competing in a car show, then yes it looks ok.
but otherwise i would stay away from graphics of all kinds.

I actually think it looks really good. It would sure as hell turn a lot of heads. Do you have a CF hood on there?
Will you be keeping the front orange reflectors in there?

Overall: Hell Yay!

If you are using the car to hunt wild animals in Africa then I say yes.

If they had a brushed lip like the Racing Hart CX in Graphite it might look better. IMHO, the wheels kind of look like the just have a ton of breakdust on them. Unfortunately I am quite familiar with that look as I sometimes ignore my car washing responsibilities!

The graphics look good, but never been a fan of the "different colored hood" crowd.

graphics are ok. I hate the rims.

It's definitely a p-shop though. Check out the door handle and it becomes very obvious.

Haha, thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, I'm just photochopping my car to see what it would look like. As for the graphics, I don't know, I just figured that they would go with a carbonfiber hood and gunmetal rims. And yes, it is supposed to look like a Z. I updated the pic with darker graphics and clear lights.

I would NOT paint the stock rims. Cool graphics for shows and racing are a good addition, but painted stock rims is just RICE!

The polls have spoken a resounding Nay. Which is kind of what I figured would happen, not a lot of people like the look. But I'm curious, some of you guys said it was o.k. only if it was going to be a show car, but even if it wasn't a show car wouldn't you want your car to look like one? Or is it just too flashy? Here's the o.g. pic

i am not against the idea of what you were trying to accomplish... just the excecution of it. maybe you should try toying with different designs. the silver and gunmetal combo look good.

then again, it is your car, do what you want.
