That looks badass!! You should remove the z emblem and paint your headlights. I think it will give the car a very exotic look IMO

I hadn't thought about the headlights - I'll photoshop it some to see how it looks. Good comment, thanks.

I put the Z emblem on because it was too much of an expanse to not have something on it (bumper would look very "added-on" without it), and I didn't like the Nissan "hamburger". On the lookout for a better emblem, but for now it stays.

Appreciate the comments!

So with the seats in a normal driving position, those things are firing point blank into the lower seat back.

The lower lumbar therapy must be pretty good.

Just a little constructive criticism ... if you're going with a agressive bumber you definitely need sideskirts and rear body kit.
