I think there just needs to be more consistency to make it all tie together better.

First thing I would do is ditch those kidney grills. Replace them with gloss black. The orange frames look terrible.

Then do the roof gloss black so the sunroof doesn't stand out so much and so it would match the new grills.

A carbon fiber splitter, diffuser and rear spoiler would all accent the bonnet much better and help make it all flow.

I am on the same page. Been pricing the carbon fiber pieces. Agree on roof and grilles.

Would have been gold had you gone with standard gloss orange and black for body and roof, that way it would have matched the hood and sunroof. Your finishes and textures are all over the place.

Make the roof gloss black and it will look MUCH better

Why oh why.

Don't let anyone fool you bud, it looks really bad...

in my opinion..

1. black/cf looks really bad on big panels when the rest of the car is not also black/cf, like the hood
2. matte is really really hard to pull off correctly, especially a color like this
3. way too many textures going on, matte black (roof), gloss black (hood), matte orange (body), gloss orange (the grill?), the wheels...
4. the car itself is simply not nearly aggressive enough for this bold of a color, even if you did pull off the paint/etc correctly
