Default It's time for a change. Many questions please show patience

Well I haven't changed anything on my car in 2 years. Just feeling like changing it up a bit . So I just need help finding parts.

Here's what my car looks like now. I kinda broke the hood when I tried to open it while there was ice on the car. Oppps! Besides it never fit right anyways. I also really hate the side skirt. I had to get something put on and the body shop was getting impatient and wanted to finish the car. So I got this ugly side skirt.



Here are the side skirts I was thinking of getting It says type r side skirts

Nice and simple looking. Are they any good? Is it gonna fall off the car after a week?

I also want a carbon fiber hood. Who makes a high quality stock shaped hood? And I want to get a carbon rear wing to replace the one I have right now.

I also have black rotas that I plan on putting on the car.

Oh and before anyone says anything THE Z3 fenders are staying

Also tell how you think this might look.

These headlight with the inside painted silver to match the car. And the black corners to match(painted silver inside to.

I also want to replace my rear bumper. Probably go back to stock.

Please feel free to give your opinion. Later

If you actualy read my post you'll see that I'm planning to change the hood and put the stock rear bumper back on. I mean I know my car is two years out of style.

Z3 fenders are their for good though.

Anyways,
Who makes good carbon fiber hoods?
Any nice side skirts anyone can recomend?

I dunno why you would want to change the sideskirts. It looks to me like you have the WW RS sides on already and I think they look great.

Get rid of the hood, fenders, and rear bumper. Keep the side skirts and front lip. Replace the rear bumper with a stock bumper and get a lip for it. Change the rims to something that isn't so nasty and you're set I do like the color of the car a lot, so definately don't change that.

No one likes to read an entire post do they! I said in the begining I have black rotas in the garage that I plan on putting on.

Besides those are my winter wheels in the picture. I have silver rotas also. Infact I have about 6 sets of wheels and tires.

I'll never give up the Z3 fenders though. I might replace them with carboin fenders though. Z3 of course.

I am replacing the hood with a carbon fiber hood. Just don't know which company to use. And I will replace the rear wing with a carbon fiber wing. And I really hate the side skirt. I think I will get the Civic type R side skirt and hope it fits.

Well, if you keep the fenders, get those headlights, and change your side skirts to anything but stock, than your car is going to stay out of style IMO. If I had your car I would get a new hood, stock side skirts, new rear bumper, keep the stock headlights, motor swap(if not already done), front lip looks ok, and put those rotas on...than I think your car would look nice.

Already got the power part covered(fully built turbo sohc). My car needs nothing! I haven't drove it much this last year but it's ready to race. And I finaly got the suspension just how I want it for autox.

Here I am messing with photoshop. This is kinda what I'm going for. I couldn't get the lights how I wanted though. But I'm gonna try and do what I planned. If it looks bad I can always change it back. But I think it will look pretty good. My moms new infinity kinda has the headlights like I want. It's the same color as the car inside. I looks pretty cool. I've also seen it on older ferraris. But once I get it doen I'll take some pics.

One with carbon fenders one without.




Dam it isn't working

Host it at http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com Easiest way to host a picture. Once the picture is up all you do is copy the link below it and paste it here. [IMG][/IMG] That simple.
