New exterior plans...

[coletrain]

I'm going to start working on the exterior in the upcoming year. Right now I've been in school and haven't had time to do body work.

I've been looking at the NSX-R's paint scheme and wondered how it would look on the cb7. I'm using this picture to photoshop over, it's not my car but the picture was perfect for choping.

What do you guys think?
Current look


Here's what I'm going with
~~THE FUTURE~~

2nd one is sex

I'd vote the second but I'd recommend a grille change. I think there's a more appropriate grill for that look. Both looks are surprisingly good, though. The gloss black roof actually doesn't seem too ricey.

How set are you on the black/white border positioning on the c-pillar?



Good photoshop work!

Yeah the black would meet the white kinda weird. It works on the nsx because it's a smooth transition from the window line to the body. Our car has a small "shoulder" that might be hard to two tone.

It also looks similar to the 240sx too. Dont look to bad

Black housed 1-piecers would look good.

A hood like the one I rendered would be pretty hard to find. I just photoshoped the NSX hood vent on the accord. There's probably something out there that's similar.

bumpity bump...tell me what you think

I want to try something that's really never been done. I'm looking for an ambitious project. I've got ideas of wide body kits, rear engine applications...who knows, lol.

You might also be able to continue the black painted section out along the top of the trunk lid/rear quarter panel shoulder area. That much black might look ricey, but its a thought.

You can also see about painting the chrome trim around the windows black.

A mild side skirt and rear lip might not be bad either.

Here's the picture with painted side skirts, I like it better
