That color combo will look sick! Don't get any bright ideas and throw an ugly high spoiler on the back tho! As far as the carbon fiber components definitely upgrade your side skirt extensions from the PU that you previously had to some 3d style carbon fiber extensions. I don't remember if you had carbon fiber mirrors already?

I will have to purchase the 3D Style carbon extensions I'm still thinking about replacing my 3D Style lip to the RPK Style.

I'm also looking for a carbon roof spoiler.

Definitely! i think the RPK style lip would look sweet! and probably the 3d roof spoiler for a clean look?

Not my cup of tea in terms of color

But kudos to putting in the effort and doing it right!!

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

BTW i noticed the body shop didn't take the door handles off, why is that?

I feel like the F10 is too big of a car to pull this color off, but interested in seeing the finished product. Definitely looks like they are doing a quality job. Good luck man!

I think it'll look really good especially with the carbon fiber components. But wondering after awhile will you get too tired of the flashy color. I think that's why most people will do a wrap instead because they can always Peel it off.

I remember this color before:



Your space grey combo looked amazing!!

Never been a fan of the exclusive color, but I'm interested to see what you come up with. You don't disappoint.

Oh damn... been following this thread for a few days! It's certainly aggressive and makes a statement.

It funny, a Civic painted this color would look tacky...

I'm going to have it wraped in Black Chrome.

1. Middle of the Door Handles
2. Pillars and Trim
3. Roof

Yea what in the world...this ruined it for me. Should've removed the trim from the car before painting. Even if you wrap it with something after, it'll still always be orange.
