AP2 lip goes very well with the Mugen top

 

leave the top alone...it flows really well with the hood and the trunk.

have you considered spraying all you carbon peices with like a yellow pearl? so it will look yellow, but you will still see the carbon.

no comment on the blue rims...

 

chris paint your Works black. you already had the blue SP1's........it was ok i think because of the roll cage you had. since you no longer have it, i'd go with black. as for the hardtop.......Spa

I see it the same way. All parts are great but the car still looks like pieced together. But I like it this way, since the hood+HT+trunk flow together.
If you want to make it look like a modified S again (not like a collection of nice JDM parts) and realy wanna paint over CF, start with the hood (keep the vents CF), paint the HT in the combination you plan to and paint the trunk full yellow. CF was blink back in the days, who cares now? Your car looks nice as it is anyway

 

I know I have said it before and I know you will probabley never get rid of them, but those side skirts kill your whole cars flow. They dont go at all with the mugen front. Please just take them off for a week or something. Take some pics and post them up. I would love to see your car with those side skirts gone.

The top could go either way. I love it painted and I love it unpainted. Dont listen to what ppl say about painting CF and how your would ruin it. Thats just plain BS. CF is for weight savings not bling! Painting it would never ruin it in any way.

If you're going to paint the top, painting the hood would look very good with the painted top and a painted trunk like others have said above. Also remove the windsheild tape if you get all that stuff painted. Your car would flow so so good with it all paint matched and those side skirts gone.

The wheels would look horrible in blue. Green, blue, red, and what ever other odd color you can think of just does not go on a street car. This trend needs to end ASAP. Its not cool and doesnt look good at all. The only way it would fly is on a track ONLY car. Your wheels in black or the OG gold they already are would/do look great. Even silver would look really good. Kinda plain, but would look good.

In the end its your car and you get to mod it the way you want to.

Some pics for yah:

Good stuff Bryant. I have been thinking about taking off the sideskirts for a week but IMO look at the car with just the Mugen front. There is a 2 inch drop off from the sides of the car to the bottom of the Mugen front. That doesnt flow to well BUT I think I am going to take off the sideskirts and rear and lower the rear another inch to negate the sides all together. That way it will appear as if I still have them and at the same time hopefully it will look cleaner.
