I've had this 'vision' for a while now with what I've wanted to do. I've done a number of variations in Photoshop to get a better idea of what it'd look like. I decided on specifics and finally got the parts painted and picked them up on Friday. I've had that lip well over a year waiting to get painted with other things. I'm happy with how it turned out overall. There's something I wanted to do with carbon fiber side skirts, but didn't get around to it. I somewhat regret not getting the half carbon lip from DG, but oh well I guess. I'd like to add a carbon fiber trunk also. Not sure if I'll get around to that either.
My pics are horrible, I apologize. I had to edit the crap out of them to make them look that good even. I didn't have a tripod in that warehouse which was unfortunate. In any event, what I did was paint the center portion (along the lines) of a Fiber Images carbon fiber hood, DG Motorsports carbon fiber headlight covers painted except an eyelid portion (to match the hood), DG Motorsports urethane lip, DG Motorsports grill w/ Mazdaspeed badge. I also had an extra set of taillights painted to match the lack of headlights being exposed. For regular street use I've got a regular carbon fiber eyelids. I wanted a less "off the shelf" look, that's why I painted that much of the hood. I painted the center portion because I've only seen that done a few times. Painted the sides has been done countless times and I really didn't think that'd look as good. I also had a chance to do the headlight cover match thing painted it this way. I had a carbon fiber grill before this setup, but I thought body color would look better with the other things they way they are.
After I get some real nice quality pics I'm going to remove the vinyl (not really my thing so much) and add orange marker lights and be done with the body. I'd like to get some black w/ red stitch seats and be done with it. The vinyl matches the GT Spec suspension bars almost perfectly. I matched the colors w/ samples. I've got a thing for having stuff match and flow together.
