Default Carbonfiber Eyecandy =D

Heyy guys I was sorta wondering what you thought of my idea. My honda is the stock red color it was when I got it and when it was bought, but I am getting it repainted the same color, but before that I am replacing the front fenders , hood, side mirrors and front bumper(maybe) in carbon fiber. Anyway, my idea was to fade the paint so that it is fading to the black carbon fiber thread look, then when it is painted red halfway on the fender coming from the door im fading it completely to the carbon look and using a clearcoat from there on so you can see the carbon, but also see how the red faded to it. Anyway, if anyone thinks its a stupid idea, or sees some problems in my future tell me , otherwise tell me whatya think in general ^_^ Thanks ^_^

Also wanted to add that it would actually be really easy for me to get done, lots of connections with paint and body shops My best friends work in a few lol ^_^

I like the faded look... especially if it's done right. Perhaps a ripped up look would be cool too. Kind like.. the red paint was torn off to reveal.. BWAAAH CARBON FIBER... DUN DUN DUN.

*cough*
Okay.. I'm gonna go back to my work now. *blush*

Cool, thanks for the opinions people

Sam

(P.S. I am for sure going to try it now, since there are very very few things that people have not seen before when it comes to imports =D)
