I would be afraid to drive that thing at all. The fitment and finish look amazing, so props to whoever made them; it isn't easy to get CF to look like that.

I am not hating hard. When someone posts his/her car on a forum, there will be some ppl who like it, and some who don't. You can't get EVERYONE to like your car. And since he made a PUBLIC thread I am not out of place for voicing my opinion. Get over yourself.
the difference between constructive criticism and an insult is tact. the word "trashy" could easily be omitted while still getting your opinion (not fact as stated) accross.

you also preoceeded to attack anyone who did like the car ("because you put cf on some pedestal") as if your opinion superceded theirs. if there was someone who needed to get over themselves i'd probably be looking in the mirror if i was you.

while i 100% agree with the core of what you were saying, i 100% disagree with how you said it.

If you would take out the blue bulb and paint the rest of the car black, I would give it a 10. But overall, nice. It's very unique, just seems a little out of place going from cf to white. But i
would drive it for sure

Holy mother of Jesus!





Great work! I would look into getting some carbon fiber doors, or carbon fiber door pillars, or maybe CF roof spoiler, to blend the white and black. I mean I can see potential for some seriously nice looking blending but I don't know how other than painting the car so that it would look like a 2 tone car or getting carbon fiber doors

Ionic Dynamics! I love you.

Props man. Definitely something different and custom. Looks clean. Now that you have a whole hell of a lot of money riding on that front end (CF, headlights, grill and FMIC), I suggest saving the tailing if someone infront of you pisses you off OH, and deers (if you have them)

I would have to agree that if the car was black or a darker color it would look a lot better. The part that kinda disconnects the effect is the white side skirt under the fender.

Props for doing it right though.

My ionic dynamics can produce a set of CF door just for this car

I wonder... is there such thing as carbon fiber rims? I mean I think it would be really light which would make it better than steel. But if I remember, carbon fiber shatters and so... I guess hitting that one pot hole would mean disaster.

Yes there are. http://www.carbonfibergear.com/weds-...n-fiber-wheel/
They are insanley expensive. I think I remeber hearing the ones in the link are $10,000 per set.

Wow! Thankyou for the link, they recommend the rim to be used on show cars only, so I guess it really does shatter

Yea, you can get them with carbon fiber center and the outside of the wheel made from magnesium. But realistically, people who buy carbon fiber rims will not be driving their cars around town.

The only reason you all like the look of that is because you put cf on some pedestal as the be all end all. Just because something is CF doesn't make it badass. While the cf in this case might be functional, it looks trashy.
and i just gave you a complement on your car. you sir, suck.

Very nice work. Are you planning to stick with the white color and painting the CF, or maybe re-painting the rest of the car a dark color?

White CF would be really nice. Looks crazy at the frontal shot, but profile is kinda weird.
