This time around I wanted to focus more on the minute details that make my car a "quality" car without it screaming it out to where a car enthusiast with a keen eye would notice. Instead of making it so easy for someone a block away to see that I had CF doors, I want someone to walk up to the car and then surprisingly see the CF accents showing on the hood, hatch, etc and then realize that this car has a lot of hidden "treasures" that need to be looked for a little bit 
For instance, i'm usually one of the guys at the car show looking underneath z's to look for suspension mods, heat dissipation mods, etc because I like looking for and appreciate that stuff more than a flashy paint job. When my friend was helping me install my Oil Cooler he was shocked to see how beefy my sway bars were, the camber and toe adjustments I had made, the GT spec ladder bar, and my ARC Oil pan since he actually never looked underneath it. To me those are the things that wow me because they are a bit hidden, but when found can be appreciated for what they do in the performance department and on top of it they look pretty nice too lol
Yes, you are right in the CF door looking kind of weird with certain portions unpainted. I have to graphic the car out for SEMA which is the only reason why I think that I could have made it work. Oh well hhaa

Plus it is what Work wanted to push and it kind of crept up unexpectedly or else I would have made a request for a custom powdercoated set
