I dont know about the tinted Head lights and tail lights if you were serious. that would be dumb IMO. Leave it look like a car with what you have. I like the idea of maybe powder coating the grille. curious to see how it would look with a thin slotted black grille.
I'd recomend leaving the tail and headlights alone. Maybe pin stripe a red line around your stock wheels like the Time atack wheels to give it a bit of color to match the tail lights. Dont know if thats a ricer move or what other 350z members might say, but it might look ok. or just get TA wheels anyways.

You should build according to your taste, instead of asking what others would change. It's your ride. You gotta live with it and drive it every day.

Wow, those 275s look good, from the pics. Any close ups? I was just talking to someone about this and wasn't sure how it would look or how safe it would be. Judging by the pics, it doesn't look overly big for the wheels.

Though, I'm not a fan of the eyelids or grille, either.

The first thing that came to mind was the grill. At the end of the day it is your car and you decide

Thanks everyone for there opinions.

I know for a fact I'm going to get a shorty antenna, I'm not so sure about the door handles though I think it might be to much. I honestly don't have a problem with my grill, It's just there I don't hate it so unless I find one I like then I will change it. The only thing I'm really looking into is taking out the reflector from my head light :/ I hate reflectors.

Thanks again everyone.

I think it looks good.

I wouldn’t worry much about the comments referencing the grille or the eyelids. That’s just a matter of taste which you decide because it’s your car and what you like. In fact your grille resembles what’s on cars costing $200,000+ (Aston Martin as an example).

My suggestions:
  • When going all black, you don’t want a bright door handle since it pops-out and looks stupid. Paint the door handle to match the body color. That way the entire side of the car is stealth and matches your theme.

  • All-black looks better with a flush look. A noticeable gap with black wheels and a black car doesn’t look good (as seen in your message #31). Drop the car at least ½” and add minimally 10mm spacers. That will look better without the requirement of fender-rolling.

Nice car.

Thanks for the advice I do see your point still thinking about it. One of my friends told me it goes good with my interior. I see his point to as far as making some things match but I don't know yet I'm more worried about the reflector. Thanks again man

I don't care for the grill either. Lose the eyelids too. Other than that it looks pretty good - although I'd don't really care for black wheels but that's just me.

The bright silver door handle on the exterior does match what is on the interior, but you don’t see both at the same time. I would paint the exterior door handle to match the all-black theme you chose for your car.

Ignore the Gothic couple someone put on your thread. Notice (among other things) the girl is not black and instead has very pale skin.

Your choice of grille makes a lot of sense from both an esthetic and practical standpoint. Notice that some of the exotics (e.g., Aston Martin and Ferrari) use this type grille for good reason.
