I am planning on adding an obsene amount of black parts to my car. Here they are
Black Hatch White Riser Blocks Black Spoiler Black License Plate Housing Black TRD Rear Splitters Black Sideskirts Black Sideview Mirrors Black Hood Inserts Black Door Handles Really Dark Black Tint (10-15%) I already have replaced the JDM tails with Black-out ones (the JDM ones are NOT for sale). The main reason im going to do this is because i want a two post spoiler, without drilling or painting. Plus I think it would look really unique. Here's a pic of my car to give you an idea of what im working with. -------------------- |

Don't do the skirts, that just looks weird in my mind. The rest sounds well.

I forgot, no on the splitters either. I just think two-tone on the lower portion of a car needs to be confined to the 70's and 80's.

Carbon hatch, carbon overlay on roof, and carbon hood, or the aforementioned in black.

There is no way i can afford all that carbon fiber. I'm also choosing this hatch because i want a two post, not the three. all the black parts are coming off of a car at the junk yard = cheap. less that $150-200. I would love the carbon fiber look, but i no money for that.
I really appreciate you feedback though. I am going to have my friend photoshop it, I'll post pics,depending on how long that takes. -------------------- |

Having all of the black pieces all over the car is going to make YOUR car look like a junkyard car. Like you beat yours up and replaced everything with body parts from another car.
Either do it right, our don't do it at all. If you can't afford carbon do a black hatch, black hood, and have your roof repainted black. That shouldn't cost nearly as much as carbon. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

That sounds like a better idea, I'll just look around for a two post in white. I may have to travel an hour or so, but i do think it will be worth it. Thanks for the opinions, i needed an outside perspective.

We do it for the weight reduction. All carbon not black. |

LMAO at this I reckon just keep the car mostly white with maybe black spoiler raiser blocks with white writing and black rear licence plate bezel. Would be cool to see someone do something different though, and i think the idea has potential from looking at the pictures posted above with the carbonfibre. -------------------- Speeding doesn't kill! It never has!

I assume the blade of the TRD wing is CF too? Gorgeous. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
