to me, it would look weird if only doors , rear fenders and rear bumpers are ppw.

i guess you're not up for painting it all ppw?

not sure if painting the parts black would look right either...guess i'll wait for some photoshops

WOAH... Is that a dedicated race car? If not then why all the CF and why the Luvers? IMO it's very agressive and I like that, but All the CF looks out of place on a PPW. I say everything your not doing CF, paint black, so basically all PPW paint black. Will look much better.

You could paint the sides of the fenders and leave the top carbon. Then it would have the 2-tone effect.

I really like painting CF parts and leaving some CF as a tease.
But I'm nut sure you could do that cleanly with these OEM CF fenders

You should get a CF hood and fade the CF to PPW. That way it doesn't look so checkered. I think that would be sick.

you should paint the fenders to match the car...not the bumper to match the fenders. From afar, all that carbon on places other than a hatch or hood makes the car look like you got into an accident, and never bothered to get the new panels painted. Maybe get creative and do some sort of fade to it if you feel you have to see some carbon

To be totally honest.. and I'm not trying to flame you at all. I would sell the fenders, and use the money for maybe a c/f rear diffuser, or get your roof done in c/f.

The car has enough contrast with the lip, and the addition of the hood will look awesome. Contrast can look really nice, but in some locations, i.e the fenders, it just looks out of place.

im assuming some of you guys didnt read very carefully .

anyways . i have the ts rear diffuser already in cf ...
and azuka cf hood on its way ...also will be getting the mastergrade cf trunk, cf a pillar , cf roof and cf cw sides as well ...
Then theres only the front bumper , doors , rear fenders remain ppw.
might as well get the cf doors and cf rear fenders later ,but will see ...
the thing that keeps me thinking is the front bumper , should i paint it black to match the others ???

I think you should paint it all white or get a CF front bumper. they also make dooers and I believe rear fenders. Just do it all one way, one way or another.
