Photoshops may help if anyone can do it. I think it would look cool, but need to get a better idea what it would look like.

doesn't make sense to paint the hard top if you leave the hood unpainted.

blue rims would stand out way too much...unless that's your goal

I love the parts on your car but you never seem to have a theme or fluid idea in mind with the design. Each individual piece is great but the package has never come together for me.

If you paint the top. Paint the hood, leaving the vents CF.

The Mag Blue is essentially a Navy blue. Blues in that dark of a shade do not match Black. Also the Mag blue will not compliment the blue of your calipers.

If you're intent on painting your rims, black or a darker gunmetal would tie the entire car together extremely well. It would also pop out once you put the Work stickers back on.

So many people run the same brands with the kits and to me thats ok but to common. All one brand looks tacky and not clean IMO unless you have the right amount of other parts to offset. I try to run the best parts that I like which will differ from the next guy but I do know I have good taste and flow being in 2 national magazines and best of show and 1st place JDM showoffs at HINs . I am picking up the Js CF rear diffusor soon so I may just keep the top black and just do the dark wheels or I may switch to back to black Work Emotion 16s.

Another thing to keep in mind is not all cars need a one brand theme. One brand does not make all the best performance or looks parts so YOU have to switch other parts into the mix or you wont get a finished product IMO.

Thanks guys.
