Get new wheels that don't look cheap and with better offsets. Upgrade to 06+ heads and tails, don't settle for anything else. Nothing beats 06 and that is a fact. If you don't to pay for 06 then go back to 03 no questions asked. A nice HKS exhaust and ebay head lights don't go well together at all on a Z.

Interested in seeing the paint when its all done. I've seen dark/candy apple/blood red (whatever you wanna call it) 350z's and they looked really clean.

Thanks for your advice, i cannot go back to oem on front because of the accident, but now, with all the comments. i understand the ``reputation`` of these lights, so i wanna change only for that reson, because, seriously, in person they look very good (headlight), so i am going to wait for ordering some Zledlights with brand new 06+

or if i can find a good deal on Craigslist/kijiji

Sadly some other thing gonna have to wait for money :

1. Wheels + brakes , i am really not sure of what i want amd its easy to spend 10k$ in a couple of minutes, so i am gona wait to see the body completed.

i will put some spacer on the one i have and paint the chrome lip same color of the car

2. Carbon fiber roof and door handle . another 3K $ (gonna be painted in gloss black for now)

3. KW Coilover, i have some BC sport made in china , was there when i buy the car.

these gonna have to wait because my engine make some really bad noises, so the 15K gonna go in the engine bay this winter

i will post my idea for wheels that could start a good discution

Cant wait to see the z in candy apple red, should look amazing. Im liking everything you have planned but please don't put on those ebay headlights and tails. Save up and get a nice pair of 06 lights. You can score a nice pair right here on the forums if your patient enough.

Kind of like the second one. I know the first one go for around 8000 and you'll be like some Aussie guy.

Even if he is ``special`` on the people side, his car looks good now. The Aussie guy is my inspiration for the built.

the Forgiato are in the same price range 7-9 K for the Maglia, so this is really a matter of looks

wow.... would love to see this in person once you are all done. I own a 2007 350Z roadster and I'm from Laval, Qc. Right now, I'm preparing for my audio upgrade. I ordered all what I need and waiting for them to arrive to start my audio build.
