Here's an update for those interested.

Installed the front diffuser, Still have not painted the wing but I put her back together and I drove her down to my friend who wrapped it for me to take care of some areas that were lifting.

I'm currently having my Enjuku K harness bar powdercoated will install that in the next couple days along with my harnesses (finally).

I installed some bumper quick releases (2x on each side, 1 was kind of flimsy)

I installed my weapon R intake (was a gift from a good friend of mine) looks really cool.

Tanabe strut bar did not work with my seibon hood.

Other than that heres a couple pictures

**UPDATE**

Got all the parts installed finally

I'm just being lazy on making a custom dash and installing the new gauges and what not.

On to the pics!

I love this type of work. Thanks for sharing.

Curious to tips to make the interior more aesthetically pleasing. Could it be painted black? Or anything?

It's funny how the trunks always look not so bad stripped, but the dash looks "horrendous" as the OP called it. I would like to do this with my Z, only leave the dash and clean up the stripped look if possible (as per my previous post).

Damn I was going to suggest a carbon hatch with lexan window to save another 60lbs but that wing would snap the light weight hatch in half... Color is nice, wheels are looking better, think they would look better in white.

Nevermind don't listen to me im a dumbass, those wheels look good the way they are.

Ive thought about the carbon hatch or whatever but honestly im already getting the downforce dents haha!
its actually pretty back you can see them in the pictures, Im going to have to make some sort of stands on the interior of the trunk to support the hatch.

I originally wanted to tear out everything and get my interior rhino lined!
But the weight of doing it turned me off.
Im sure you can get some sort of spray paint to make it look better I'm just so lazy.

Any chance for videos, inside and out?

If you do any aesthetic work (almost wrote anesthetic work!) on the insides, I'd love to see it. I'm curious how to tidy it up, even including the wires if possible.

Beyond doing burnouts and donuts in the street, how long has it been since you've actually taken this Z to the track?
