SparksCW Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just a random thought I had yesterday, I'm sure it's been done before but anyone on here done it? Was considering getting some vinyl as it looks quite wrappable for an amateur I think it makes the car look a bit "meaner".. here's a quick photoshop... Very tempting, I like it! Especially as I plan on having my wheels sprayed black and black Z badges in the future. And possibly some colour matched headlight "brows" to bring the bonnet in line, not convinced on them yet.

Cragus Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Lots of people have went for this look mate - I like it! Don't do the brows though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy P Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Lots of people have went for this look mate - I like it! Don't do the brows though +1 eyebrows only look good with a carbon bonnet I think. Do it if you want though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 you can by carbon fibre aprons which does pretty much the same, I have a nissan one (not actually CF but a look alike) and a member here is making his own out of CF to sell shortly. Great to cover and protect against stone chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to cover and protect against stone chips Any idea where I can get one? I had a look on ebay and this isn't /quite/ what I had in mind http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KOOLART-Nissan-35 ... 80100f7138 I am friendly with a spray shop as I invest in their camper van projects so may ask him to spray it along with my door handles orange and wheels black.. but if an "apron" is reasonably priced I may just go for that instead, or vinyl.. This is the outcome I'm looking for (photoshop) so it's gotta go to a spray shop at some point anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuRS Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Bob - you beat me to it. Was just going to say speak to buster! Have you considered a front lip with black grill/centre section? I'm leaning towards this look over full on CF lip. Wrong colour but gives you an idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
