First of all... I don't think that's a G"35"...

Second, that's ricey and the huge dent on the rear bumper doesn't help its case at all...

I think the carbon fiber hood and trunk are a little strange looking on a car if its not grey or black imo. It looks like an unpainted body panel to anyone looking at the car from more than 10 feet away.



They should keep it real and do the entire car in real dry carbon fiber

What's ricey about it? As for the dent, well it can happen to anyone and once repaired will look great.

Looks cheap IMO. Trunk lid doesnt even seem to be a good fitment (see gaps); not to mention it looks like that bumper might be starting to fall off... Fitment of the hood looks ok though it is hard to really tell from one pic. Also, is this car otherwise stock? Looks like stockish non-sports package wheels.

Not sure about rice-er-roni, but I don't care for the look.

I don't think it's ricey but I do agree carbon fiber looks better on black or charcoal colored cars.

i dunno if it's the quality of the hood or if it's b/c someone kicked it in but thats a big panel gap.

carbon fiber is played out!

that's some nasty fitment right there. alot of these aftermarket parts aren't made well.

and when unpainted, it's like wearing plaids with stripes.
they don't match.
