sry but thats dumb. yea u look like a carbon fanboy that cant afford carbon. looks like those ricers who primer black their car. a more temp option would have been to vinyl wrap the hood, roof and trunk instead of painting it. hope ur not on stock wheels and already messing with painting ur body. but to each their own....i wouldnt buy that evo

if you're gonna paint, i would have done gloss. or got actual carbon fiber. i guess depending what that paint job cost you. if you paid about a grand for it like some people are saying, i would have gone with real carbon fiber. but then again, thatd probably be for just the hood and trunk..

Everyone has different opinions. As long as you like it. I was actually thinking of just doing this to my trunk lid.

that colour will be your result and it will probly run you well under a grand to re-clear the entire car.

I think thats a great idea....why didnt I think of that!! I love the way it looks now though....I get lots of compliments. Looks a thousand times better in person.

Im not of fan of carbon....too many people have played that scheme out.

I could have opted for a cf hood and trunk, paint job wasnt to far off.. but like I said I dont want it. Hey to each their own......

Got the JDM rear coming soon...and maybe no wing, we will see.

Doesn't make sense. You think the Carbon Fiber thing is played out yet if you parked your car next to someone with CF bits and stood 20ft away you'd both look exactly the same. You say you don't like carbon yet you try to get the same effect from satin paint??
