I'm in the process of designing my paint job for next year for if I do get the stillen front fascia. After a while, this is to me the most aesthetically pleasing I was able to do with black blue and red .



I think it looks awesome.

Gimme your opinions, ideas on sheme and design, or if I should scrap the red or add some more, etc. !

That looks awsome. The only suggestions I have is following the contours of the hood if possible and maybe try the black portion as flat (no gloss).

Well I guess it'd look alrght if it's always that dark. I don't really like the red on blue. I think it'd look good with white/silver lines versus the red.

The lines work well but maybe try to leave the border of the grill black, so move the lines out an inch or so. See how that looks.

Looks nice still though

+1 on silver lines

would the black only be on the hood, or would it continue to an all black roof and something with the trunk?

thats why I did the red accents, to flow nicely behind with the red taillights

Get an OEM CF hood and a CF Stillen Front Fascia Replica and do the paint job where in the hint of CF would be visible.

My buddy has a 3 stage paint process on his CF hood on his benz where it shows a section of his CF. It goes super well with his CF front lip.

hahaha...I know, but you can always go custom. Isn't there someone in Canada who was willing to do custom CF body parts?

if you added black 20" wheels with a silver pin strip on them, that would look sick.

P.S. Are your LED's up top just for your turn signals? Just wondering why they arnt on while the lights are on.

i like the color scheme with the red, but the top shouldn't be a jet black (i'm not sure if that's what you're going for), i think a very dark grey would be better.

I remember Kyle (stillen kyle) talking about a chrome-ish paint that he thought may look good on the grill part of the stillen fascia.. i wonder what that would look like as the outline...

Way to turn a $500 fascia into a $1500 project lol

Are you going to repaint the whole car??cus the current blue on the A/C is a bit too light IMOgo for a bit darker blue will be really nice~also it might be better to go with the contour line on the hood

I would h to say that the RED is better. Stands out more and shows more class to the car tuner whise.

yeah, I'm leaning towards the red to, because once we get to the back of the car, the lines can merge with with lights. plus silver is way to tame.
