Car looks so fresh and so clean now, before it looked awesome, but more racy, now it looks like one bad *** street machine.

Woo hoo, now I can get CF doors without being a Rickdogg wannabe!!!

Looks clean as hell Rick, nice work. I am thinking of eventually going all one color again as well, but not silver.

Ontario was fun as hell back in the days. Now all the tracks/streets have speed bumps.

Unfortunately, the painter forgot my instructions on what areas I wanted to leave unpainted on the doors, but what is done is done haha.

I couldn't complain as the time he completed the work in was phenomenal and considering he only painted the CF parts, he color matched it pretty dead on and in person it is very, very close which is hard to do without blending in the rear quarter panels, fenders, etc.

Soon to come will be pics with the ARC oil cooler installed as I finally got that thing in tonight, lowered some more on some 18" Work XD9's, and then after that some graphic work for SEMA.

Love it! Simply Stunning!

I want that kit!

Nice job! I'm all for the clean look also, but I think i'm going to go out on a limb and say that I honestly liked the carbon fiber / silver combo on you ride. It made it stand out from the crowd. Kinda like a status symbol or mascot (for lack of better terms) for the SoCal Z's.

None the less, you also mentioned that you were going a different direction with your car. Cant wait to see the finished car!

LOL I definitely agree that it made my car stand out for sure. However things change and I just had to change it up so I wouldn't get bored of the car There are still minor CF accents, but there will be graphics and what not so we'll see how that turns out.
