Default Updated photographs of my 03 Redline V2 w Work Meisters...

Thought I might get a few more opinions as I have gone
through some changes with my exterior. The last 4 photos
of the gallery show the car as it is today. Enjoy.

Definitely worth thanking Gruppe-S on the superfast turnaround
of parts... and of course my fave insurance company State Farm.

Canards in black would have been hot but nice car either way. You need to paint that bottom lip black or paint those sides red

here's my opinion.....

the original colors were good...with the black lip on the front bumper and stuff.....and what you shouldve done there was paint the upper part of the side skirts red and keep the lower part black/CF.

Since you changed the front bumper to ALL red then might as well paint the sides red too, coz it looks awkward. If you are deciding to keep everything the same it is now , then just paint the sides and the rear in red (im assuming the rears are still in black). When you have painted all the kit in RED....after that i would paint the grill area in black including the silver looking grill/mesh. that would look hot. otherwise stick to first plan.

Executing a good two-tone on the car was tough the first time around.
The car just looks better to me in person with the front end in red. After
having it the other way, I just prefer one color. The Cwest skirts are of
such high quality, I would never touch them. Fitment is 100%. Should the
grill go black either way? Anyone notice the paint on the side mirror stalks?
Details...

I think I am heading towards a stock bumper with a Cwest lip kit.
That should balance all. Shouldn't have a problem dumping my
Nismo authentic V2 into that - Anyone interested? I might also
entertain other stock redline bumper, CF lip kit combos... We can
swap anywhere in FL. Now do you see where I'm going?

Never going back to the paint shop = priceless!

i liked the original look better, but with black canards and black out the mesh grill. Maybe even a shine V2 with CF lip..


looks great though..
