Default New look for SEMA. Need help deciding.

Ok, well I have decided that I want to change the look of my car a little for SEMA and I need some help deciding a few things. I want to add some red accents to the car since everything is black, silver, or carbon fiber. I need help thinking of things that I can change out to red easily. Things that are usually in stock and can be here in enough time for me to install it by SEMA. Also if you have any other ideas for the looks of the car, all opinions are welcome.

Here's what is already going on the car:

C-West N1 body kit is already in paint getting sprayed silver to match the car with some CF on the side skirts.


Here's what I am working on already for the car:

Others at www.SinCity350Z.com

Switching the AP Racing calipers from flat black/yellow to red/black.

Changing the decal layout to include black & red instead of all black decals.

Trying to locate CF headlight buckets from 350EVO (don't know if they still have them or not)


Here's what I need help deciding on:

I can't find any good wheels that I want for the car. I would love the Time Attack TE37s, but the only sizes that look good on the car are 19s, the 18s have the wrong offset. I want to buy wheels that I can use after the show as well. Something to throw some R-Compound radials on since my current wheels have Hoosiers on them. That way, I can save the Hoosiers for Time Attacks and use the new wheels with R-Compound radials for regular track days. That rules out any 19" wheels. So, should I have a red band painted on the current Nismos to give the same look as the Time Attacks or just leave them all flat black? Any other wheel ideas, I need 18" x 9.5" +30 or close to it, preferably in flat black or any other black as I don't think I will have time for powdercoating before SEMA.

I also can't decide on what to do with the seats. Should I leave the seats all black and get red harnesses, or should I leave the harnesses black and get the red inserts for the seats?

Must stay with Corbeau as they are a sponsor.


Remember, I am going for an agressive 100% track car look here so deep lipped wheels and such are out of the question. I also don't want to buy anything that I can't use after SEMA.

Latest pic of my car....

Details? Custom made won't work unless they can be done by SEMA. Any other shots of the whole car? I want to see the concave .

Ok, I know I said that deep lipped wheels were out of the question, but how about 18" Volk SF Challenges? Or GTVs? Both in black with polished lip of course. Then after the show maybe powdercoat the entire wheel flat black?

No problem. I was hoping no one would have the same setup as me, but seeing it's you, and your sick ride, I would share the secret haha...PM me if you're interested in getting them.

I'm running 265/35/18 BFG KDW2's up front, and 295/35/18 BFG DR's in the rear.
