Your whole package is a major WOW!

However, I don't think that I'd go overboard with the CF fenders. I'd save the coin and then do some CF magic on the center console and hold it up right there.

thanks

the bmw has a custom i chameleon paint job, the hood is carbon and sprayed lightly with the paint to give it a glow. Car is sick.

as for the wheels, i picked these out of all the stern ones they had, these were 5 spoke and clear the brembos and make the brembos stand out well. I really wanted either the gold w/polished lip volks, or those 3 piece i think gunmetalish w/polished lip?...

not sure whats wrong with the sterns i have now?

Just invested some money in the body, too late for the wheels. I like em tho, their alright.

If i had more money then i would dump it in but right now im just doing slow, light mods, and looking more towards my future, financially.


As you can see, i dumped a !#@)#$@$#@) of money in my accord... and what did that do me? i sold it and lost 75% of what i put in.

Hey, good observation on the rear =P, i have to redo it, the top part came out really wavy and it shows on black real bad. Crack on the front will be fixed this week. There are a few wavy pieces on it that i wanted to fix anyway so it gives me an excuse to do it.

But overall, thats what its going to look like.


I was wondering if i should spray the CF parts with anything? clear? pearl/clear?

i would spray the cf fenders. maybe just from the "line" down, and leaving the spot after the vent as cf. That way you have CF all the way on top (hood plus the flat bit of the fender) and cf on the vent. The painted bumper looks kinda weird when it's surrounded by CF.

Dude, I remember seeing that Accord being sold on ebay a long time ago!
it had the skyline taillight conversion and all that.
Also, it had something wrong with it, anywho. I like your Z, just a new kit.

wow, gorgeous car. Very clean, and stealthy-like. I normally am not a fan of the unpainted carbon thing, but the fenders and all look soo good in combo w/ the vertex front. Leave em unpainted! Great job!!

I like the Z. Is it just me or is it CF on one side, but on the other isn't?
