nice buy, can't wait for the pics. i like the mintblue bodykit
you want to paint it cuz you don't like the ricer look, right?
i think cf looks ok only on a black car
but my question is, can cf be painted?

maybe they wanted to make sure it stays there, maybe they applied many coats and gave it a few days to dry up. just my thoughts...

I like it.

Is it just me or does that setup kinda remind you of a G35?

Looks good, IMO your car is complete, as far as appearance mods go.

I heard that ms mirrors don't fit in our LHD cars mike. Japan and UK owners are very lucky

cuz they're very nice.
Any ideas?

I don't like the spoiler as spoilers go...

... HOWEVER, I think it looks perfect on your car Mike, really goes well with the MS rear in red.

Definite thumbs up!

Still searching for a rear to go with mine... wondered about the Mint Blue rear bumper... I feel a photochop coming on
