Widebody finished...almost! 56k death
Well guys, as the title says...it's pretty much all done. The wing needs to be painted and I'm considering 2 other paint schemes but for now I like the contrast...
Ok Ok..enough talk.

IMHO...you're 90% there. with a car as radical as this, i think you need some type of black graphic or paint along the side of the car.
the hood/roof and trunk are tied in with the black paint, but the fenders seem to stand out too much. tie it all together with some form of graphic, either with a vinyly or actual paint.
good luck.

Hmm? That's definitely different. Props for doing something unique
I'd like to make some suggestions though...
I think you should definitely paint your fenders LS. Sure it sticks out but it does it too abruptly. So that you get some color to carry over to the side, you should extend the lines from the front bumper & follow the lines from the tip of the top part of the headlights towards the back following the side of the car. It was kind of hard for me to figure out where to take the line since I'm not sure how the rear looks like so I simply just took it straight back. Perhaps it can even go in an angle depending how the rear flows. So anything obove that would be gray (whatever color you used for the top half). This would include your side mirrors. I think this will make your color scheme flow through the lines of your car a little better. Now, if you something even more unique...you can blend the two colors where they meet so that it'll transition slowly to the other color. I wish I was at home to so I can photoshop this but here is a really quick paint rendition of what i'm talking about. Again...this is just my suggestion but I really think this would totally set your car off.
BTW...it might look pretty nice if you color the center part of your wheels the same color as the top part of your car too. Leave the lip polished though.

The car is certianly "personalized," I like the choice of kit and Fuzion hood though my color choice would have been something else. Can't say it's "all show no go" seeing the fmic.
But WTF is with the sparkles on your windshield? o_O

Not my style but if you want to get it right, i agree with the rest about the fenders. Also, because your kit is so extreme, you are going to need BIGGER wheels! The ones you have on it looks like they are spare tires....lol. Big props for the hard work.

thanks for the suggestion guys, I'm going to see what the wing does to the scheme before I paint anything else, I'll photoshop the sideskirts graphite and see what you guys think.
Ohh, the "sparkly windshield" is just rain.

Here is a pic of the rear.
If anyone wants to try to photoshop what they think would look good, keeping the 2 tone idea going I'm open to it.
As far as the wheels go...those are 20" Axis Matrix...I dont think I can go any bigger
