black on blue looks pretty good..

Bronze wheels on a black car looks badass IMO... but it should still look pretty clean...

I dont like black on blue at all. I think silver or bronze is the best choice for blue. Im my opinion, It looked better before the painting.

Its a Seibon. I bought it from Accolade a while back. They dont sell Seibon anymore. I wouldnt recomend it. The trunk is cracking and is yellowed badly in only about 5 months on the car. same with my seibon hood. remember. you can use evo trunks. So, any of the evo CF trunks will work. Plenty of options. search in the evo show and shine. any other questions. feel free to pm me.

you could take a chance on seibon. It looks great from a distance. just dont examine it closely.

That's what everyone says about my carbon hood! It isn't Seibon though, it's just some random one that came with my IT kit.

The wheels look okay, I'm pretty sure it will look better once the car is black. I think you definately gotta do something about that grille though. The headlights will be fine once the car is black, since it will accent the lip you made on the wheels.

You have any better pics?
