New Paint Scheme Ideal, need opinion

Ok well the car is getting the Zen body kit compliments of AITracing.com. I made a rendering in photo shop of how I want the car painted. There is a R1 CF hood going on it that I didn't photo shop in. The black part will be matte black and the orange will be the stock orange color. please only comment on the paint scheme, THIS IS NOT MY CAR so the rims and such will be different. Please let me know what you think. I did it in like 30 mins so it's not perfect. This car is going to HIN so the community's opinion weighs heavily on my decision, thanks all!

here's the back, looks more red then orange, o well. I don't want a wing though, and if I put on it will be black as well.

ehh, I wanted to compliment the body lines, I think just that bottom part with CF would look tacky, I'm assuming u mean CF vinyl? I'm probably putting a CF splitter on the bottom so that should tie it all together nicely, thank for the idea though!

That paint would look awesome. I think the side mirrors should be orange as well.

I know you said not to mention it, but that is a gorgeous kit. Go for it!

nice nice, I have to render a rear shot eventually, don't have time though. Are you painting the trunk leaving a outline around it, or just at the bottom where that one line is?

o cool that looks really good, hopefully mine will, although my black will be a matte finish, I think it adds a little extra show off factor, and it will be pinstriped with gloss black,

well my car has 40k on it, but I'm probably getting everything repainted. I want to do the trunk however, unless I get a cf trunk.

ya I thought about silver, but I think that looks rice, I want to keep it clean and stealthy looking, but I was considering that cause it would tie into the rims nicely

Ok i did a quick render of the back, it came our more red then orange, but that's the idea. Minus the spoiler, might do the RK spoiler, and I want to add a CF Diffuser at the bottom
