I think you might be able to pull off a CF hood, especially with painting the roof black, that would be sick! as far as the front lip goes, just paint match..

can't wait to see what it looks like when its all done! hopefully you get it back soon!

that's an idea too..if you're going for that kind of theme, and yea jumping on the CF trunk that would set off your car even more with the CF hood, black roof, gloss black front lip

i would still paint match the front lip

i dunno bout everyone else, but i think painting the lip gloss black would look good, only if you painted the roof too tho, and get a cf hood, and the cf trunk if one gets made

but IMO i wouldn't paint the mirrors, as the pillars are still gonna be the same color as your car originally, i just think they would look out of place

i need to wet sand and paint my lip again. was to lazy last time to put a clear coat for it. ill go to your house. let me know when is a good time. But IMO. i know you don't like taking other people's style so its really up to you. i like the primrose and black theme. or almost any color and black theme.

I really hate the black roof, it's useless blown money, and you know it'll be out of style in 6 months-a year, but that's just my opinion. I think some carbon would pull that car together, as if it's not sexy enough already.

Yes i approve, I like the combo dainfamous posted, would look better with the lip painted, I really liked your car with both lips color matched. And don't get the mesh grill, however if you're reblackhousing your headlights you should either blackhouse your clears or get the smoked clears

well the only thing i opposed to this is because he has black rims. and it would stand out more if his lip was black. plus before he was regretting before that he shouldn't painted the lip. also you guys know he doesn't have a rear lip anymore.
