I'm thinking the same thing as everyone else. Congrats and being unique and doing whatever makes you happy though.

Not feeling the hood and wheels. Black out the pillars on the outside. Tint is also too dark, 30 would have been fine.

Seriously, consider painting the trunk. Blacked out roof is some what of a trend, so leaving that black will be fine. If you're painting the hood (good decision by the way), paint the trunk to balance it out.

I agree with airvtec. One other thing is get rid of the chrome pillars and get some carbon fiber overlays. It will flow better. I like your car. Its different and doesn't look like most of the cars on here.

I don't understand some people say to paint the trunk. If he paints it, it'll look back to stock with no perfect fitment. He can just replace his to the stock trunk if he still have it.

I'd say take off the mods on the gas lid, window visors, door pillars, and side mirrors. It's hard to tell from the pics if you've been consistent in using real carbon fiber weave or the vinyl wrap. Make sure it matches or it would look cheap.

Do add black carbon fiber door pillars, door handles, and red outs.

Need a bulkier sideskirt and rear lip to make the lip kit flow better. Or just get rid of that front lip and buy a thinner front lip (lexon or that chargespeed one).

Also add some spacers to push out your wheels.

I would havr to say paint the hood like you say you will and get rid of the gas door. Oh and that camaro across the street looks like it was smashed between two big rigs!

LMFAO! I love CF but just seems a lil random, maybe painting the lower front end, sides of the hood, certain tweeks can make it look more "blended"
