Pillar Coloring?

Zomg · 05-22-2013, 12:12 PM

photoshopped pillar color

What do you guys think of this? I'm a minimalist and I want to mod my Z where it holds a stock look but with a high-end look. I figured this pillar idea gives it a sort of attractive look. They do offer carbon-fiber Pillars from what I've seen but I have not seen any solid colored pillars and I'm sure its for a reason but i have no idea what the reason may be.

high-end look it is not...well not to me.

I'm personally a big fan of red splashes on a white and black car. Looks nice. Is it high-end though? Nope.

Maybe in white but not in red. If done red you’re better off leaving black or going carbon fiber.

That does look interesting though....I kinda like it.

I don't know if I'd like it every day, but its different

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm sure I spit out a headscratcher when I stated a high end look so i guess to explain what I had in mind while saying that is that I want something bold similar to the odd side panel of the Audi r8. Not exactly that but something that just sticks out boldly. A lot of people stick within visual boundaries just from observing photos and its kinda boring so I may give this a try after a few other mods and see how it turns out but I will most likely photoshop the same idea in different ways with different pictures.

If that Z had red brakes and could tie that red pillar in then i think it would look decent.. Different for sure. The chrome one is hideous though...

Excellent creativity and uniqueness. IMO, the white would definately give it a more "high end" look (if I'm understanding that right...) It would flow better with the car.

The red just makes me wonder, "why red on the pillar?" In a minimalist effort, try a bright red trim on your stock interior, and maybe a some red "Z" floor mats/trunk mat. Sleek white outside, sexy red inside....oh my

kenchan · 05-22-2013, 12:45 PM

yah, maybe thrown in some red text mixed in with the black on that decal there too.

kenchan · 05-22-2013, 12:47 PM

btw, dont do that chome in that first pict. that looks nasty. borerline "did you use aluminum tape from home depot?" lol

i had a 60+ neighbor down the street modding(?) his little hatch and he put those appliques all over the car. was like damn, i you want a buick from the 70's with chrome bumpers and such, just get the real thing...

Zomg · 05-22-2013, 12:50 PM

I guess red would stand out quite a bit but some stubborn muscle in my brain is willing to see it in person and in motion. I also had an idea of a carbon-fiber pillar with a red stripe on it and if not that then I want to come up with an idea for a carbon fiber hood. My inspiration for some of the ideas comes from my love for Pagani Zonda Cinque cars
