Looks great. I don't like the side skirts painted as the front and rear lower parts will remain matte black plastic and it won't flow as well, but that's IMHO.

I would seriously consider adding the leather interior with Platinum Grey or Red stitching.

You've added a lot of upgrades like carbon fiber parts, black LEDs, painted side skirts, painted gauges, etc. These upgrades will feel cheap without the leather interior.

Otherwise it looks great. Sapphire Blue always looks good.

just me, but...

add: PCCB, Smoker's Package, aluminum or anthracite trim, full leather, yellow seat belts

subtract: side skirts painted, CF mirror and triangle (does not match the satin black pieces on exterior), auto-dimming mirrors (unless you use it a lot at night), light design, red seat belts, CF interior trim (interior is too dark) and CF door sills

It's your car though...

Good looking build. I agree that the side skirts look better in black/trim color. Plus, they will get pelted with road debris so a painted surface will get chips. Leather is a personal choice but it definitely adds to the interior look and feel (where you spend most of your time). Either way you'll have a great looking GT3. Congrats!

Just noticed as I was closing my browser that you selected silver wheels. Since your exterior accents are black you might want to consider black or platinum wheels. If you stick with silver wheels maybe go with silver LEDs and drop the CF mirrors. Also, silver will not hide brake dust as well as the other colors.

Nice build. Love that color, it's my choice next to GT silver for my build.

I agree with the others on the painted side skirts. I would uncheck that.

will add the leather with red to see how it looks. wish the seat stripe could be color changed to match the stitching

Side skirts painted then PPF on top problem solved

With side skirts painted the car looks wider and more agressive

Only time i opt out for painted side skirts is if body is black

Well, it's the best color, so the rest is up to you!

I don't like painted side skirts as they tend to get rock chips and look bad. The black plastic hides road rash better.

Too much carbon fiber for me, but it's not mine.

Should be awesome!!
