+1 for your class
Thanks Ravi. Your ride has also come a long way as well. Can't wait to see your new setup.

After seeing in person, I actually like the two tones look on your car. Bad A$$ combinations of white and black roof. From a far, it looks like your car is a roaster. Can't wait what you are going to do next.

+1 for pics.

Chris, the CF overlay will be a good addition, why else would he have the cf mate with the rear window? This look will be continued/exposed on the roof till the hood...

Nice job vince. BTW, your Apexi exhaust..how come its coming out so straight? I remember seeing Jonathan's and it came out angled. Also, is it loud? Do you have high flows or test pipes? I'm considering this set up.

Either way nicely done. I too considered the full Asuka treatment but only black can pull it off fully exposed. Too much CF makes the car look unsophisticated, and I don't want that. I did many photoshops of fades and new paint schemes but I just couldnt get myself to do it.

EDIT: I thought you left some of the hatch CF???

Thanks Ravi, if you look closely, right below the glass is the exposed CF. The reason its hard to see is because they were in the middle of sanding the clearcoat for polish. But once its done, it'll be much more visible. My exhaust is actually not Apex, its JIC St. Its slightly rubbing against rear the M-brace, so i have to bring the car back to the shop and have them readjust the back piping.

Ahh, thanks for the clarifications. I was pretty sure I remembered the exposed cf under the glass area...which I why I said to get the cf roof. I would get the roof too but my roof's black already hah!

Can't wait for new pics bro!

hey vince btw how loud is the jic now? since youre running the strup TPs and 3" piping instead of the hks smaller piping? was it as loud as you though it was going to be? basically does it sound like jon's? -_- lol.

regarding the cf roof over lay, what i thought was he was going to paint the whole thing, so it wouldnt have even looked like there was anything cf there in the first place so it woulda been like a waste of 1000$ (roof and paint), so now that i know there's going to be come cf accent, it makes me feel better =)

JIC with the silencer on is very drivable. But once its off, oh, man, I would say its just as loud as Jon's. By the way, the car is done. I will have some pics up very soon.
