Whether Street, VIP, Executive, Racing, Sleeper, Cruiser, Showstopper or whatever. Your car is your car and should be unique and to your OWN liking. Who gives a crap what "category" people think you car falls under? I'd rather opt to not be in a generalized category but to be a in a category of my own, or better yet create my own category.


Carbongs, I would seriously contemplate wat DaShockeris recommending. Some of those JDM plates with carbon garish look very nice and clean. I really like how your custom plate turned out, but honestly, I think Street - VIP is a bit cheesy, not to say that your car is at all. I really love how your car is coming along, your dedication is second to none, but I would have done everything the same, but would have put "carbongs" instead of "Street - VIP". Moreover, instead of metal lettering, I would have either had the lettering wrapped in carbon fiber by your shop or use black pearl emblem lettering.

GL buddy!

What?! After all the effort? Bro, you need to use it!!! It's innovative and looks great IMO. Don't let all the criticism change your mind. It's your car, it's a great idea, and the execution was well done.

Excellent work!

You know, I've had something like that sitting in my sock drawer for something like 3 years... hmmm... I still don't have a clue what I'm going to do with it... But, it's carbon and it's delicious!

CarbonGS has always taken critisizm really well

Alright no one should take this personally(I'm just joking ), but Carbongs if you've seen Katt William's stand up there is one thing to remember -

"People are going to hate regardless, get that fantasy world out of your head. A haters job is to hate, so let them hate. If you have 20 haters now you need to figure out how to get to 40 by the end of the summer."

Looking good, keep doing what you're doing!

The idea is great, but I'd rather do your CL name like someone else suggested. It'll be more of verification if you get spotted on the road by other members, perhaps noobs.

Whatever it may be called or labeled, your car ranks up there among many others on this site for uniqueness and quality of what your art is trying to say. I only wish I had the ***** and the money to make my GS half as kool as yours.

BTW I likes the carbon plate idea. Its totally different and would look good in a show.

Well, I gotta say T. You really take it all in stride well. I wouldn't get caught up in naming your ride or trying to classify it. I just call mine bluelex style. Call yours carbon style. Enjoy what you've done its very different.
