Your car isnt horrible just needs new work.
- New Wheels - if your wanting to keep the carbon fiber and silver look maybe get wheels with a black face and polished lip.
- New Body Kit - judging by your taste i would personally get a kit that is still aggressive in looks. ex. - JP Aero Type A.
- Lose the wing.
- Paint Hood Vents Black.
- Remove stickers.
although this still isnt my taste exactly, i think that you would love it?
The way your car is now i would give a 5/10!

Most people who mod end up messing their cars up, like this monstrosity. I'd say stock Z is a 7 or 8, and most fail to improve on the initial look of the car.
Of course, I'm in the minority around here. I've gotten used to you crazy modding bastards.

3) Not a fan of the fender, windshield or side mirror stickers. Remove them from the mirror and I suggest a tint "eyebrow."
4) Not a fan of the shopping kart wings. While some owners have them for fuction cause they road race at high speeds, I don't think they belong on a daily driven 350Z.
I'll give ya 6.5-7 out of 10.

I don't think the wheels are that bad. I have seen worse.
Body kits are personal taste, but those sides look like they do not fit right.
Isn't modding cars an expression of our artistic nature? We want to be different than the other Z's out there.
My opinion is a 7 out of 10. Can't wait to see what your new direction is...

Looks are a very subjective thing, so for now I'll say you did a pretty cool job on your car. As long as you like driving it and you're happy with what's been done on it, the car is definitely worth every penny invested.

let me try and put things into perspective, the rims were a personal thing, they look much better up close honestly, bigger rims here .......on south african roads is a big no no....the wing is full carbon fibre wing but i think i undastand the ''clean look'' now. you hardly get any carbon fibre hoods around these parts sooooo, to show the black gold is really something.

The wing would look better by itself.
Other than that, your ride is pretty nice--and as others have already said, at the end of the day it's what YOU like that counts.

yeah rim is too small ...you need a wider rim like 20 x 10 1/2..at rear and 20 x 9 1/2 in front...and diff brand of rim...the front is ugly I like stock with lip only..thats my opinion of course..

Nothing wrong with your car. Im just one of those that is in the camp of i think the car is BEAUTIFUL from the factory. The most that it would ever need would be new rims...maybe a VERY tasteful body kit but that is it. I dont understand paint and hoods that dont match, tacked on spoilers, stickers etc. But to each his own. If you like it thats all that matters.
