    Daytona Grey with white or very light colored sideblades?

    Hello All,
    By chance, does anyone have a picture of a Daytona Grey Pearl R8 with very light colored sideblades (white or similar)? I have seen tons of greys with carbon fiber blades, but not with ones that are white.
    I already have one with the grey sideblades but wanted to see what it would look like with other light colors.
    If there are not any photos with white sideblades (even the white carbon fiber weave pattern) in existence, perhaps someone skilled in photoshopping can alter any Daytona Grey R8 photographs?
    I have tried posting links to pictures of my car so that someone can photoshop it, but the forum is prohibiting me from doing so, as I have less than 15 posts.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the suggestion desperado.
    I have uploaded five photographs of my car.
    Hopefully, someone can photoshop it for me if no one has an actual photo of what it is that I am seeking.

    Thanks Mark.
    I have no doubt that the carbon fiber looks great, as I do drool when I see it in photos. Since I have a second set of sideblades (body colored), I am considering vinyl wrapping it with a very light color to differentiate it from the many other Daytona Grey R8's with CF sideblades. I can always peel it off anytime, but thought I could get some visualization before going through all the labor of installing it.

    Thank you.

    Whatever you do, I can not imagine white looking good at all! Just my useless opinion......

    Hi NVRL8R8 (cool member name BTW!),

    I suspect you are right, but I wanted to put it out there. Perhaps the light silver color similar to the gas cap may be a good look, not necessarily white.
    I know that there is a vinyl wrap that is similar to a white-CF, as well as a silver-CF color, so maybe the silver-CF one may be a more suitable match to the Daytona Grey.

    Thanks for your feedback. It's definiltey not useless.

    Hi Sebring Silver,
    Thank you for your suggestion.
    I actually did view all 59 pages of it before posting here. Unfortunately I did not see one there, but there sure were some gorgeous colors and combinations on that thread!

    I appreciate everyone's contributions.
