Default Painting J's kit....need some pics/advice

Well i got my complete J's kit in friday. The parts were prepped over the weekend and are going to be painted starting tomorrow...but I am not sure how I want it done yet. I have the FRP version so the front splitter is not carbon, I am thinking of keeping it the body color (new formula red) but am not 100% sure yet.

I am trying to get a few picture of the kit on members cars. Also on the FRP rear bumper there are two little carbon accents on it, not sure if I want to just pain them red, of leave them carbon either...I have the 1x1 weave hood so maybe the small accents on the rear would be a nice but like I said I am trying to see some before I make up my mind.

Please post up any and all J's kitted S2000's. And if you have any advice let me know...Here are a few cell pics of everything thats in (fenders will be in 6 weeks from now)

Dude WTF happened to your taillight?!

And I'd leave the carbon accents, they will compliment the hood nicely!
