widebody/car work

So this next few weeks will be very busy.....
I'm running down to subiefest this weekend then coming home to take the car apart.

This week I'm rounding up parts to finish things off.

So I am going from


To the l'aunsport carbon widebody.


I wonder if I should paint most of it wrb. Maybe leave the the tops of the fender lines carbon? Leave it 100% carbon?

Parts I need to find this week.
Rear defuser Thinking of ordering the Varis or the Voltex
Wheels with some crazy offset was thinking the Rotas in 18x9.5 in black
Cusco Cage 7 point
Some front brakes.

Few other things... I cant remember. Just got home from a long trip.

If I painted it I'd do the Zero/Sports front bumper, seibon front fenders, l'aunsport rear 1/4 pannels ad rear bumper.

I'm just looking for something differant.

cant wait to see what it looks like in the end. with that kit though, you should go 18x10 or even 18x10.5

not just crazy offset, go with something wider like 18x10+ also. it wouldnt look so hot from behind with such skinny wheels with that wide of a kit nor will you be taking advantage of the massive clearance. think proportion. you can easily fit 18x10+ with 295+

Painting it black will cost more money. Unless you don't mind the doorjams, engine bay and inside the trunk blue. Would be easier for paintshop and your wallet to stick with blue.
