Opinions on CF (warning, bad paint edit job inside)

This is how she is now:


I've played with paint a bit (I unfortunately don't have PS) and would like your opinions. Either all the edits or just a few:



Work will be done with CF vinyl and it will be glossy not like Di-Noc.

Grill is going to look nice though i think it looks better with a 3 slat and CF.

I am not sure if you will mange to do the hood grille with Vinyl?

Mirrors will look great i have done it myself and love it.

Roof; id rather have it all black than CF.

Good thing is Vinyl is cheap and you can remove it at anytime. Good luck and have fun

Leave the front grill chrome but paint that vent hood grill ( see mine i didnt paint but buy another one in black ) and wrap that roof with black vynil. One more thing, YOU NEED TO BUY THE FRONT ASAP. i feel like its missing something in the front bumper.

I know... To get an AMG bumper for me will cost US$2000 for an aftermarket one. Shipping it down to this part of the world is ridiculous...

I like the black roof, grill and mirrors, not too partial to the vinyl on the front lower number though. BTW, what is that badge you have on your fender? If I had to wager a guess, I'd say it's a V6 Kompressor badge...

I've been meaning to get round to remove that. The first owner put it on... And a 320 badge lol. My mate just supercharged his Silvia so he's going to put them on that.

He decided to supercharge it just to be different (opposed to putting a turbo on).

Wow, never even heard of a s/c Sylvia, hows the RB20 like it? The S15 is my favorite, HKS had a red one with an absolute killer decal job years ago, loved that car.
