I really wasn't trying to be a jackass or anything. I was just simply stating my opinion. I do give you 2 thumbs up for the effort and amount of work put in.

I think the lines would look better with the fenders painted orange, but I have to say I think the graphite and the orange look good together.

Good-looking and unique car.

Props for going with something different, and as long as you are happy with it.. its all that matters.
+1. I can see alot of work was put into the vehicle. As long as you're happy with it, that's what matters. IMO, it's a little too much for me though.

Please don't flame me for this, but I don't think there is anyway to paint the fenders LS since my paint guy won't paint things on the car...and the kit has been for all purposes molded onto the car...

so........I was thinking if I added some kind of tasteful vinyl that was the same color as the fenders it would tie in the rest of the car...I like jason's vinyl(performance nissan 350z)..i like the veiliside vinyl...

thoughts??

Hmmm... I can't really decide if I like it or not.

Two thumbs up for great work, though

Rear set:
1. Hatch, Roof, and hood is black


2. hatch only


3. Solid color


Front Set:

1. Hatch, roof, the sides on the roof, and hood


2. Same as number one except hood is solid and the top portion of the fenders are black


3. Only the roof and hood is black. Side roof is solid. **My personal favorite**


4. All top is black except for hood.


5. All top black except for hood and hatch.


6. Only roof is black


7. Solid



luckily im bored at work so enjoy!

Damn r3v, that's real good.

I actually like the car with just solid orange.. although, I do like the top of the fenders being black as it leads to the dark headlights..

D@mn that Z looks like it came out of NFSU!! lol. BTW I think it looks awesome but I have to agree with everyone and say paint your fenders LS. Also what r3v made are very good idea for you on how to paint them. For me I would pick number 3 or just keep the hood CF and paint everyhting else. Nice car. One more thing, you gotta fill up those fenders even more!!

#1 from R3V is the best, hands down. I have a set of carbon fiber doors in stock that would look sick on this car
