Keep the updates coming. OP listen to these guys about the wheels to be purchased. I normally take wheel advice with a grain of salt, but if I am spending $2k+ on wheels and putting $10k+ on a build, wheel structure and quality is important.
The worst thing a person can do to a beautifully painted body is have cheap, warping, flacky wheels. Good luck OP.

Yep, after seeing a lot of wheels, i think i was going too far with the concave and Nessen and 20inch thing 
90% sure about these now
SSR EXECUTOR CV02 or something like that in a good trusted brand in 18 or 19.
Thanks for all your advices, that confirm i want to stay safe, clean and classic now
No more BIG stance concave wheels

are you going to two tone that front bumper?
Just my thought real quick... The side vents ... they seem to look round and "soft" and I say the same goes for the side skirts.
I personaly would have chosen more "sharp" sides and vent to go along with the aggressive style front bumper (matching rear as well)
But overall coming along nicely and good progress

THAT'S IT.... I'M THROWING UP THE RICE FLAG.
Vents are rice as hell
Entire body kit is rice and fitment is way off.
Painting wheel lips is rice. I will hit you if you paint HRE's
Ebay lights are extreme RICE.
Pros:
Filling rear wiper hole
Giving it a nice paint job.
Going 19" instead of 20"
Other than that complete fail.
Should have just kept OEM kit. Gone 06+ lights. Painted it. Dropped it. Put on the correct offset HRE's. HKS exhaust. Done.

So she will look like a toy, i want to make people smile
A Fast and furious ``Look at me`` with green under neon, audi wannabe headlight and fake carbon fiber.
i know some people dont like that at all, but call it a fail is maybe excessive
i have spend more than 50k on some project with 600+ hp, black on black or factory red, Yenko tribute, but that Z is more fun than anything, this is cheap reliable, fast to built and for a ``designer mind`` its a blank page with endless choices of parts
i sure cannot please everybody with that kind of car but personnaly i LOVE where this is going since all is on.
i LOVE this crazy car PS: for the wheel i will paint those i have now and i will order factory red chrome from SSR or HRE
