Cool Carbon Fiber questions....help me keep my Z!!

lol....alright guys, I've been looking a while and have all the performance mods that I want, however, I am now looking to make her no longer a sleeper! Im really into Carbon Fiber. I've been looking around at Carbon Fiber Hoods, Spoilers, and hopefully side mirrors (don't want covers, but I dont think they make side mirrors in cf yet). A few different ones look great on the Seibon and VIS websites, but very few are actually installed. Does anyone have any good pics of their Carbon Fiber installed? Looking for different looks! Thx for the help guys

---btw to explain the title, Im looking to sell the car bc of the new addition to the family, but Im really on the edge of keeping her...this would put me over the edge if I could get excited about makin her look all purty haha

O btw....just so no on can say "worthless w/ no pics" here is a pic of her after a bath....

I dunno man. She is real purdy the way she sits. And If that's the car that I think it is, I have driven it and she runs strong. I like what you have done with the front.

Keep it!!

I think a nice lip, side skirts and wheels would really change the way the car looks while retaining the clean lines of the factory body and it would not look so stock. I love the INGS+1 and Mine's lip with EVO-R side skirts, the wheels are completely up to your taste.

idk man....the prob w the front lips is every one I've seen has a huge ding from a damn rock chip. Looks great at first, but it seems like down the road those cf front lips just get beat up too much. Im looking to stick w hood, spoiler, side mirror for now.....o and the newly found headlight housing

I really like how the rims tuck on the blue Z. Nice choice of parts too.

Default Headlight housing mod

Can someone recommend a good installer for painting the headlight housing? It seems that MR Works is no longer accepting PM's and I haven't been able to find much on anyone else who does this. Can a local body shop do it?
Thanks!

I really love that kit and hood! The back bumper not so much... :/ IDK why just not my taste. Thx for the pics tho! It really does look like a beauty.

Im looking for more of a subtle look. I like the ground effects on the stock z and its already lowered w the suspension kit so it looks really clean. Im looking to add a cf hood, side mirrors, door handles, and spoiler! Also found some DEFI gauges that are GORGEOUS! All this talk has really helped and gotten me exciteda bout the z. I think I may be keeping, at least I'm going to do everything I can too. Thx again guys

Any other good looks, let me know! I love seeing these beautiful cars
