these skirts and bumper
and this front
looks like this, but pearl white
on these wheels and the new tires stated
with this exhaust.
I plan to purchase all of these soon, with the tires and wheels first.
Opinions?

Not quite dreaming, as I COULD do anything for it.
As for "rice in my blood" I'm not sure. I don't know much about cars, but I have a deep hate for civics that sound like pushmowers, if that helps?
I just don't quite know enough yet to know what I should/shouldn't be doing.
But I was already on the fence about the kit. Just wasn't the "clean" look (i think) i'm going for.
Will be buying the wheels & exhaust this week & weekend.
Will continue looking for exterior options that I like, but not rushing anything. Any suggestions from you vets?
Thanks for suggestions/posts.

Yeah, after logging in on mobile and seeing your posts, I realize you were trying to help, it's just the typical my350z.com/forums approach that everyone here knows and embraces which rubbed me the wrong way at first.
To be honest, I'm still upset that I bought an auto. It was the only choice at the time and I seriously regret it, but there's really nothing I can do about it for at least 6 years (end of military and then college) without taking a huge loss. I don't see a huge "trading my manual Z for an auto" market around.

me personally i don't like body kits, you have made it apparent you do (may be the age difference). they are expensive and will be expensive to repair if you mess it up (and it will happen, i am lowered an inch and i drag on stuff all the time)

meh, i didn't lose sleep over it, so no reason to be sorry. in all honesty the money you would spend to turn an auto to standard you would be better off selling it and getting a standard.

About 1 hour ago I was driving down the highway on my way home and BAM... My authentic TopSecret Carbon Fiber front lip got sucked right under the car. It is now destroyed and I no longer have a front lip

how much do you owe on it?? if it were me, i wouldn't do anything to the car, when you can sell it and break even (or come out ahead) do that, do you really want to lose money on things?
(remember, this is my thinking)

Lose money? No, but that's just car ownership in general.
If I sold right now, I'd probably near break even to what I owe on it, if not still being under.
I only bought her a year ago, but my payment plan is to scale where I'll pay the rest off in the next 2 years before I ETS and head to college.
