What do you guys think? Sorry for the crappy IPhone shots.

Looks very very nice. Fitment in the last pic looks a bit off? That's the exact paint scheme I would do.

Yeah that last pict exaggerates the gaps a little bit. The fitment isnt 100% but close enough for me for now. I still might get it tweaked a bit though when I get the chance.

It is around 60%, IMO...

lol seriously with this? not digging your comparison.

i think the car looks sick. the beauty of it being his car is just that. its his. his opinion is the one that means most because its his money and his extension of creativity.

Gkap · 07-26-2011, 10:27 PM

Asiarush · 07-26-2011, 10:37 PM

chris s · 07-26-2011, 10:45 PM

I've designed a lot of show cars so let me try to give you a bit of advice.

The car doesn't look good with the bumper. The new bumper is very custom but the rest of the car looks stock so the whole thing clashes badly and I think it makes the car look worse than stock.

What you need to do is mod the car further. I'd recommend some Morr vs 8.2 wheels in gloss or matte black, and a serious racing style carbon diffusor. Someone posted one a few days ago which was super sick it was carbon and had a vent in the middle and lots of fins. I'd paint that in gloss black too. Then paint the mirrors and roof gloss black.
