Haha -- I will only accept it if it's free!!! Honestly, I have no idea what i'd do with it. Maybe put it on the roof to take some gag photos.

Haha.....I was hoping the spoiler I purchased was gonna be an overlay but hey, I couldn't pass it up. Now I'll have two CF parts in the front and two CF parts in the rear. Oh....and my headlights are done and being shipped tomorrow!! I'll have everything ready to install very very soon. Look out Z Dayz......I'm comin'!

That's awesome, the car is going to look pretty sweet!

I am going to do some cosmetic things myself. Going to see if I can accelerate plans and get as much as I can done before Z days. Gonna have to make a trip to the powdercoater!

I think the only other options I would do (and probably could do at this point outside of a turbo kit) is:

1. powdercoat brakes blue
2. tint windows

I don't know how the blue calipers would look (maybe too much blue?), but I definitely think you should get your windows tinted. Even if you only do the legal limit (50% in VA) it will look better than stock and totally change the look of the car with the windows up.

You've seen mine... it's 38%.

Me, I'm planning on powder coating the wheels gloss black (possibly with a thin solid red time attack stripe) and having the headlight housings done in a flat/satin black. I'll also need to take care of the silver door handles, which will probably be painted solid red to match the body color.

That'll be good to start!

Yeah, Lou Fusz keeps bugging me to get my windows tinted.

I'll have to check out the cars again Saturday. I've never really considered it but I'll give a good look.

You've done all this **** to your car and haven't considered window tint? You are one strange cat!

Tint was the very first thing I did to my car along with the clear bra.

Hahaha....nope, never did. I like look of the Persimmon interior and kinda like being able to show it off thru the windows. We'll see what I do......and if I can even afford it after the latest round of mod's I just invested in.

Tony, think of the tint as a outer wrapping around the surprise inside. It looks awesome on the outside then when you open the doors....Voila! All those other things you've done.

I was looking at some pictures and working with photoshop to work it out and it almost looks like there's a hole in the door when it's black. I'll have to keep thinking about it. I'm still not 100% sure if I want black. It's either that or gunmetal ala the Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider 16M. Of the two, black definately looks more menacing and sporty.

I think a black (not typical gray) gunmetal would look nice... it wouldn't look like a hole, but it would not look as half-assed as painting it red (little looks worse than making it look like you don't know how to tape things off when entering the paint booth

).
