    Where can I pick up some of those rings emblems in C.F.? Black looks real good on white. Looks better, than chrome in your particular case.

    Perhaps those would look proper mounted on top of the VF Supercharger in black...

    Looks much better, as far as I can tell. Did you hand paint them?

    i like that a lot. To bad I didn't have CF sideblades, as that would go perfect.

    I wonder how that would look with my Silver Oxygin blades.. hmmm..

    Just placed them on the grass and sprayed them. I coat primer, 3 very light coats gloss black and two light coats of clearcoat.

    How did you rough up the surface so the paint will stick?

    Re: Emblems: As they should have come from the factory

    Now just remove the horrid 'R8.' Erase it in photoshop and see what I mean. The symmetry and rings with no words really make it better looking.

    I'd remove the V10 logo as well. Lame.'

    IMO, the car needs no descriptors. It speaks for itself.
