I like the white, dont worry about it IMO. Some white graphics to bring out the white more might not be a bad idea, do what you want, i think it looks great.

PS 08 headlights FTW

ok so here's what needs to change, which will probably be beyond your capabilities.

Anywhere there is white......needs to be carbon fiber....with some wide carbon fender flares. Drop it hard, and put some crazy wide rims on it with crazy lip.

I might be able to photoshop it...once i get sick of doing schoolwork.....

lol I thought about cf wide body fenders but then I'd basically have to take the sides and re mold them to go with the fenders and still match up with the bumpers and all. What your saying is def doable but costs allot, and Id jsut be back tracking and putting my car from finished ext to another few weeks - a month or 2 of work since Its hard for me to get spray booth time lol.

I love the help though thanks!!!

lol yeah, I might do the CF quarter panel extensions and leave it at that if it looks good but I doubt it will look right with out the rear bumper and sides to go with it. I already paid 600 for the rear and 250 for these sides.

It definatly unique and will be a hate it or love it kinda thing. I think you need more white accent so it doesnt look like you ran out of paint and just sprayed the rest white. Overall Great work.

That does usually look good, my only concern would be that you want the white to stand out more, and adding tinted lights might make the white look more out of place. I wonder how it would look to put on 08 headlights with the black part of the housing painted to match the red. I saw a guy paint the black housing white to match his super white tC and it looked real good.

well yeah if you do what i said it would be uber expensive, but it would make it look 10000x better. I like the white/red idea, but i just don't think that the white belongs on the bottom of the car. Like everyone said, it makes it look like you stuck an unpainted lip on the bottom of your kaminari kit.

Yeah but carbon fiber is so common nowadays. His idea is way more unique.

Delta, I think if you throw on some white graphics it will look great.

I'm trying to find a graphic to put on the sides to bring out the white more but Its hard to find something that isnt ricy and at the same time itl look bad if its a diff shade of white.

screw the graphics....do some nice white wheels. it'll match the white lip and make it so it doesn't look so...unpainted.

The more i thought about it with the red and carbon idea...it seemed really familiar. Then i realized i was just telling you to make your car look like cynce's car. There's nothing wrong with that, but you get the idea.

lol thanks. I hate not having photoshop. CS3 really messed something up and it corrupted something that wont allow me to install any photoshops. Real hard to fix.

What sort of graffics are you thinking of doing........the white is such high contrast to the body it is hard to get the flow of the body...........if it is evened out up higher with white then I think the white can work.........it is so hard to guess at a not quite finished project..........
