I was wondering if the white was primer or did you do white on one side and red on the other?

I think painted stockers look good. Between the wing, tail lights, and wheels, the car as a whole is kind of busy, to me, but I've got nothing against the painted wheels on their own. I think the red looks pretty good, actually. 2¢

I plastidip the wheels, then primer, last color. The plastidip was in case if I want it to remove later, and I want it to see if I like red rims now I'm going to paint them black, and decide which one I like the most

That is the smartest shit I've heard all week.

I guess this is probably pretty common, but somehow I've managed to make it this long without ever hearing about anyone else doing this or thinking of it on my own. Or... you're actually the first person to do it and you're just the smartest of the humans.

nice car buddy, I have seen it in the parking lot at the plant. I am the guy on red shift with the raven five axis with the work wheels.

I'd beg to differ. I think the CF pieces could benefit from being color-matched, especially the rear, side-skirts and the top portion of the front lip. "Beyond repair" is more like hacking up your fenders for Rocket Bunny.

Have to pick a theme here you have all the carbon look then red wheels. Either paint the underbody carbon and rear. And keep red wheels or go with silver or black wheels. And leave carbon look.

Did you get dry carbon or just the carbon look overlay?

heh, I guess it could be returned to stock pretty easily. Lots of (seibon) CF for something so slow. Some people like their looks, rim color is interesting looks like getting an even coat was tough on those wheels.
