I recently painted my car from satin silver to lexus glacier frost mica. I also did a carbon fiber wrap on the roof with some 19 inch Forgestar wheels. Tell me your thoughts.

Paint looks good but not a fan of the Versus kit or the black roof.

I like it, it looks really good.

Wheels look nice, and I'm always a fan of the black and white motif, but I'm not too big of a fan of the bodykit, either.

Looking good! I'm in for more pictures but as of right now I'm not feeling the flat black roof.

I think if the body kit was molded it would look a lot better.

I think you should go with a gloss black roof. it looks good on some cars. definitely go with a different lipkit.

Nice paint and I really like the wheels. That said I'm not a fan of wraps or the front lip, I wonder if a RonJon front lip would be better suited.

very nice, but not a fan of the cut up front lip.

duyx817

maybe trim down some of the front lip?

The black wheels on the white looks sick. I want all black on mine
Looks like they could use some spacers to be perfect but,sick.

I like the kit around the sides and rear but that front lip has to go. I like the paint, wheels, and roof. ^Agree about wheel spacers

zac

Car looks good, I just don't like the front lip, it extends out way too much.

The paint on the roof looks kinda akward, maybe its just me, but it looks like its painted several inches in from the sides of the roof, making it not flow well with the A pillars,

looks good ... diggin the wheels too

not feeling that black roof on the cl but other cars ok

I think the front lip should be more complete like this:





But I love that color. Some more traditional wheels that offer some brightness would match the luxury theme of the Mica paint. Right now the stealthy racing style wheels kinda clash with the pearl white luxury paint.

I was wondering what the CL would look like with white paint and black roof. Not a fan of the wrap job but I'm liking everything else.

Roof & lip look like ass. Sorry you asked....

But props for being different.

Im asking for quality pictures in the sun. Well as for now i think you should use gloss black paint for the roof rims should be gun metal and front lip is no go. I like the color.

As for the wrap is is carbon fiber dinok. I agree that the lip looks bad but it looked a lot better until I had to cut the bottom lip because it was scraping everywhere and eventually cracked. Any other lips you recommend besides the Ron Jon?

Everything else would need to be custom fitted. Find what you like and do it

I think the wheels should have some spacers put behind them and a RJ front lip and it would be even better

civicdrivr

I can't believe Im going to say this, but the RJ front lip probably would look good with the rest of the Versus kit.

p.diddy

yea that gap in the front lip looks bad. i actually wanted to buy the versus kit back in the day so glad i didnt. TL kit all the way.

Rajca

same with my front lip. kept dragging on the floor and now has a hold in it from scraping so much.
try adding a splitter to fill it in.

whoa!!! Those are big words coming from you I'd have to agree though


I'd like to see more pics of the roof. Maybe more clear up close pics?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yea I guess. I like the rest of the RJ kit though, very sleek.

And x2 on the roof pics. I thought it was flat black, not carbon vinyl.

Props. Would have done things a little bit different but it's nice to see something new on the forums.

Nersh7

Did you just do the vinyl over the sun roof? It looks like it in both pictures.. was there no other way to do it?

AC-knowledgedis

vinyl is over the sunroof as well. I was thinking about taking it off the sunroof but left it like that for a while. Anyone know where I can get a nice lip besides the RJ. My biggest issue is scraping everywhere and destroying it.

rondog

iTrader: (1)

You won't scrape, I've had mine for the last 5 years and if it does scrape, it has a way of releasing slightly to not break or cause much damage other than paint scratches underneath where it can't be seen. The height of the kit is only 0.5" lower, it's the shape that makes it look lower.

Nersh7

TL kit.

Why would you wrap the sunroof as well?

Jaeson

I think the car has potential to be bad ass, but some of the mods stand out in a bad way. The paint and wheels look great, but the wheels could be a different color to show the design (at least gloss black). I usually love black roofs on white cars, but in this case, it looks cheap because it's not glossy (I know it's supposed to be CF but still looks cheap) and because the sunroof is overlayed. At finally, I do agree with everyone else that the Versus front lip is a bit too 'extravagant'. I personally think it's not THAT bad because I hate the stock front bumper on our cars, but a TL lip kit all around would give this car 4 more thumbs up. I think the consensus of the group is change the front lip and the roof. It looks good now (the paint looks extremely nice), but changing these two things would make it exponentially better.
