Photoshop rocket launchers on the bonnet, and a few bikini clad ladies in the passenger seat and you got yourself a nice ride! ;)

Already got too much going on with all the vents and things I think. Just wouldnt work.

Yeeeaaahhh, sort of going off that idea. Cant blend the front because of the Kaze fender vents. Im going to have to modify the sideskirts again. With the back, looks pretty good without the top bit (I attached them separately). Still going to have to round it off though. Bit hard to explain. Will put up pics when I get underway, but yes, all done in conjunction with the respray. Will have to make a couple of changes to the rear bar as well to take the custom taillights im building.

Was thinking a bit darker than the colour on your lancer. That must be pretty close to the colour tippin just painted his actually. Love the colour the Kaze fenders were when delivered. Will probably try and match that.

IMHO white looks better... just put extra clear coat and make it really really shiny

Having seen the fender color in person, I'm confident it will look great.
The PS does not do it justice.

But yeah, hence why I commented about Tippins when I saw it.

Almost going to be twins.

Without a doubt it'll look great, but it would look better in white ;)
But then, white is my favorite color so I am biased a bit.

I dont mind the white, but I find white bland. And there are so many white FTO's. Want something that stands out a bit more I think.

No I dont have a colour code yet. Ive been told by different people it could be a Nissan colour, or maybe one of the EVO blue's. Then again it could be custom. Its really hard to compare to other cars in photos as well. In your avatar, the blue on your Lancer looks lighter than the blue of the guards, but then that may be a trick of the light. I guess the same goes for tippins FTO. I can sit here and speculate, but thats about as far as I can go.

If you do go ahead with the colour change Dwayne, will you do the entire thing? like inside the engine bay etc
Personally I love your car in white but I did fall in love with that other blue FTO that was recently sprayed,
I think yours will look insane
