Honestly???
Ugly...there's a fine line between subtle and overdone. I think that's too much. Looks cheap....Does the door still open and retract with that stuff on there?
If you like it tho, that's all that matters ya know.

I'm with Bertg. Like the Z but the 350 is a bit too much. Where did you get the emblems from?

no do what i did...i don't have a pic but it's perfect because it balances the continuity of both sides. If you look at the drivers side there are lot more aluminun accents then on the passenger side. Place the 350z on the right side/passenger side were a normal glove department would be. Right at the edge...guaranteed it'll look awesome...as if it were from factory.
Am I making any sense?

Naaah...
Get a saw. The kind you use for hobby prescision
works. Saw out a (the!) 'Z' in the plastic. Trim with a file so the
edges get 45 degrees out.
Prescision-paint the edge (up to you what!).
Attach a semi transparent plastic cover on the inside
with blue (or yellow?) LED's around the edges.
There you have it!

trust me...it's awesome...matches very well... I am going to have to ask someone to take a pic and post it then...give me a week.
p.s. i don't like ricing things out...I normally wouldn't do things like that...but this was "perfect" so far everyone who has seen it.

I know you mention to put on the edge... but did you center it or off to the right?

I vote the "Z" emblem only, but I like the idea of putting the "350 Z" emblem you have on the passenger side. This is what I did to dress up the Nav Door with some air brushing

Can I ask what it cost to have your dash painted?
Any close up pics?
