See someones got the right idea! Why does a track car need a roof?

You going to paint them?

You going to paint them?

Lol fuck no, I'm not wasting money on paint. I honestly don't care what it looks like. If I can continue to shave weight, improve aero and eventually build the motor once I get the chassis sorted I'll be happy.

I would get them painted

I say leave them. not a show car, spend your money elsewhere until the build is done

 

[jay745]

not a show car

The trophies in the garage say otherwise... :bow:

While I agree, it just doesn't look completed. If it was gray or black, I could see it. Just a weird contrast. But I was never a fan of non painted CF hoods either.

Don't leave them bare.

If it still bothers me after everything else is done on the car I might, but it's literally the last last thing on a very long list. It might get pulled together with the addition of the hood and hatch, kind of a patchwork look, only one way to find out.

On a side note, noticed a shit ton of oil on my driver side rear shock, pretty sure it blew. I'll have to pull it and send it into Eibach for warranty rebuild.

Edit: Should I transfer the CW rub strips over from my OEM skins? Might help pull it together in the mean time.

I would say the race car should look aggressive, not like uncompleted puzzle.
Your car looks really awesome and you are caring about details so you have to continue caring [emoji4]

You mean the trophy I got for the award they literally called "all go and no show"?

I agree and thank you, I'm just trying to build it right. I'd rather dedicate what little money I have to do this to things that actually improve the car, so cosmetic stuff like painting the doors is hard to justify, but I definitely hear you.
