I gotta buck the trend here. Although I appreciate all the hard work and money that had to go into this project to achieve this look, and respect the fact that its not another cookie cutter custom that so many of us have, I wouldn't want it for my own. I'm happy with the look of my car.

I'm not at all a fan of the blacked out look... and even less a fan of the flat black look but whether or not it meets my taste or not is completely irrelevant. Looks like you did a great job with it and it's different than the rest

Car looks sick bro! Looking forward to the rear end/exhaust pics and up close shots of the carbon fiber. I love the mudered look on vettes (see mine below)but this takes it to a new level of nastiness. Now I'm thinking hard about doing the flat look but maybe in a dark, charcoal grey with some exposed carbon fiber. Props on the details and doing something different, very

I'm in the not for me camp, but as a builder there is plenty of architecture out there that is not for me, but I appreciate it just the same.
This definitely falls in to the category for me personally of job well done, and kudos on the effort and execution.

"Your car looks sick bro! Paint looks very clean. Thanks for the props and let me know if you need the hook up on any carbon.. I know a couple places" by norcalzo6
Thanks man, it only looks that clean immediately after washing it, it's impossible to keep a black one clean, especially a daily driver.....Yeah, I could use a hook up on some carbon fiber stuff, PM me details if ya like. I got some rear brake ducts from RK sport and gluing them over the stock ducts isn't an option, the fit just isn't that good. So I'm gonna attempt to take the stock ones apart and try to replace the outer "skin" of the duct completely with the carbon RK pieces, looks to be a challenge but not impossible. My girlfriend is from Auburn, next time we are out there I'll try to look ya up and see that beast in person. Later bro, Rain
