Interesting....

The top one is a bit extreme for my taste. I've seen the other pic before, very nice car, a tad rice, but love the trust front mount.

Agreed, the black bonnet says "I'm just on the way to the paint shop" I don't like those little scoops on the bonnet either.

Yeah i also agree with the carbon bonnet! It looks unfinished and poor! Looks liek some of those nova boys who buy a different colour bonnets and cant afford to paint it.

I was intrigued by the strange bonnet vents on the top one, also the very strange morette style (but not) headlights that wrap around and enclose side lights as well.....

according to the blurb on the link above it has a carbon boot lid and some sort of high spoiler which you can just about make out the edges to if your lucky.

yeah, and that idea is best left in the 70's

keep the bonnet the same colour as the rest of the car and wear some cool shades to stop the sun glare

That reminds me, Blowdogs skyline has a carbon bonnet too. Fantastic looking car, but I think the bonnet spoils it's looks.

Just spotted the carbon spoiler too. That might work coz it looks like a proper mod. Stuff like fog covers, mini-scoops, interior dash bits all look good in carbon on any car.

Large bits like a bonnet just don't work for me. Even a normal car with a carbon scoop wouldn't look right; mini-scoops yes, but not the big main one.

Maybe carbon in big panels don't work with the rest of the cars appearance.

I thought some taxis in some towns had the same paint job as the top one.

I don't understand all the carbon hype. It makes your car look like it's been given a cheap body repair or it's still waiting to get the paint job finished.

Why would you stick black carbon parts on a white car

A black or dark blue car would look cool though
