I'm not a huge fan of the colour, but other than thats its great.

Its definitly a swap I'd consider instead of an RB26DETT because I love NA engines.

I am not a big fan of cars without interior but i love this one, color is nice, it looks "mean" or something.
I have an rb25 NA waiting to get in my Z, i just love this :D

I think the carbon wrap would look much better if it looked shiny instead of matt, it would just look like a grey car then until you got up closer.

Grey is good, the carbon is ugly, never understand why people put carbon wrap on anything, if you want to use carbon use real carbon, you only make things heavier if you fake carbon.
 
I like the carbon wrap, you can get the 3m dinoc stuff in artic white and metallic grey, the grey is great and gives a nice texture in most light.

Also to add wrapping a car is cheaper than painting, keeps weather/salt off it too. Adds less weight than paint also.

I dont think people grind off all paint to the bare metal and then wrap a car. And i dont think its a lot cheaper than paint, still have to do the same preparations as you should when painting a car. and paint keeps of weather and salt too if applied properly.
 
You don't have to do any preparations at all, apart from clean and dry, covers a 1000 sins. You can wrap a whole car for £200 yourself, £400 for the Dinoc stuff.

i guess the complete surface of the car has to be spotless or any little dent or crack in old paint will appear in the wrapping vinyl. or will it cover up all of that?
