Buy a set of the Rays for the 350z and lose those wheels. Remove the wing and put the stock aero kit wing on the back, it should cover the holes (hopefully). Beyond that, stick to actual performance mods. Stickers and rice just devalue your car.

look at my profile and goto albums and look at my car. What you see ther is the nismo springs. TBH I have not really looked into it as they came on my car but i believe they are rated at under an inch drop (probably the 0.8 you mentioned).
I like the nismo Drop just fine and the rating at under an inch may be a little modest it may actually be a bit more than what its rated.. maybe not tho but I do think the small drop makes a HUGE difference. You probably couldn't go wrong with either. The nismo setup is probably going to be way overpriced comapred to something else with similar results tho.. I'd find the best deal!
for my setup i have 18's (f 8.5" r 9.5") 245/40 and 275/40 (stock diameter)
and like i said above.. my drop is more than likely the .85"

about the spacers.. This I need to work out on my car to.. I have the LMGT4 and I think they have a close stock/sunk in look.
as one person mentioned 20mm front 25mm rear may work without rubbing ( i can't confirm this tho)

I like the looks of the car now man, even with those not being a style of rim I particularly like, they look good on the car. Looks like you've made a lot of progress in a year!

Doesn't look bad, have you performed a driver mod at all yet? Rosamond is right down the road from you.
