ok, I'm not one to keep secrets, I'm gonna reveal my plans for the exterior of my car. A few of my closer friends have seen the drawings already, I wanna know what you think.
Since I'm in the process of revealing my plans, I want to ask some opinions on the wheels. I currently have white, but I'm thinking of having them professionally powdercoaterd if it's not too much (if anyone can share some recommendations or prices of powdercoating wheels).
I don't want to hear what YOU LIKE, I want to hear what you honestly think would compliment my coloring.
i think the black wheels would go nice with the carbon hood and stealth heads and corners....i was quoted at about 30-40 a wheel through a friend...i will be doing mine black....by the way....the way you made those photos were awesome.....a nice carbon oem wing/trunk would also add to it nicely......
I'd go gunmetal or black to complement the cf, and that front end pic looks great - i've always wondered what a whole cf front end would look like with the grill, brows and hood - hurry up and put it on and take pics
i like the second drawing. nice stuff man personally, i'd paint the corners teal on your hood, like 1CLN's. where did you get the funds for all this new stuff? i thought ypu were a broke college student!
u do know they dont sit as low as the stillen rear apron and gtr front.
Yes, I know this after lookin at SqueezinSE's ride. I'm still up in the air about skirts. Here's how I stand with skirts:
I currently have an SE-L skirt sitting in my room, just one b/c some clown took th other one off before I got the the SE-L. It's pretty scuffed up and I would need another one for it to work out. After lookin at SqueezinSE's ride, I'm thinking the SE sides won't be low enough to work with the GTR bumper.
I am in the process of trying to get rsenal200 to respond to my PMs about the GTR group buy. I am getting the full kit (minus the wide body parts) since it's a great price, I'm gonna sell the rear b/c of the rear valnce I'm getting. Also, the skirts are unfortunately meant for the 2 door, but I will use them to make a trade for some 4-door sides of almost any brand (preferably Stillen/Erebuni GTR sides). Which reminds me: If anyone wants some 2 door GTR side skirts, I will make an even trade for some 4 door side skirts. The only thing limiting me now is getting rsenal to contact me. I haven't paid yet.

I don't want to do that painting my hood thing for 2 reasons. 1. I would be taking Seans idea, and 2. I would have to paint those eyebrows. I got c/f fever, baby.
As for the money, some of you may remember, I was in an accident just before Christmas. I opted to receive the money and do my own work, so the damage was found to be almost $3000 after my deductable.
I eliminated silver and gunmetal. Those 2 jus don't do anything for me.
I'm still having trouble deciding between Black and white. On one hand, white is bright and brings out the teal while black will make it look dark and dirtier. On the other hand, Black is sporty and works with the c/f.
I think the pics look amazing and personally i like the first pic better. I think it makes the car stand out a little bit more rather than the rims blending in with the car. Also i think you schould consider doing somethign about the silver stuff around the doors. It's like the giant oval that goes up and around the windows and shit. I think it kinda of looks tacky. That is just my personal opinion, but once again it looks amazing and i can't wait to see finished pics.

ya, I wanna get rid of the chrome trim myself, but it's not that easy to do. I'm onl keeping it there b/c it's not worth the pain of f*ing with it.
