Nice! You thinking of painting it at all? Yellow and CF seems awkward to me.

If one looks at the car from the top only it does appear a bit awkward... but I feel it works well with your rims/wheels... Very nice... Very different.

Looks good

Be carefull though...I friend of mine got his recently from the GB and the center vent smacks down on the plenum cover....so the mesh cuts into the cover.

Thumbs up I'm on the fence...

I like your painting idea, but then again, I think it looks good as is. I like the dramatic color difference and also appreciate how it compliments your wheels.

Just my $0.02.

VERY NICE!

looks like a sizeable gap between fender and hood on the passenger side? and probably just a leaf or something, but what is that yellow thing that's actually in the gap, sticking up?

Thanx for the compliments guys.....yeah the fitment is great!needs some adjusting to the left , but I haven't had a chance to adjust it. There is a slightly bigger gap on the passenger side that I need to adjust but since it is about to pour here in NJ it will have to wait till tomorrow.
Yeah I am on the fence as to leaving it or paint it UY with black vents. I just got the Gandor LED Mirrors and was thinking of paining them black to go along with the hood........decisions decisions....

That would be a cigarette butt my crazy neighbor put in there to make fun of the gap! I didn't notice it until AFTER I posted the pics, had to go scream at him for even breathing on my baby!!! LOL

Looks SICK Jason. One of the few yellow Z's I like !

I'd say leave it unpainted and get some more CF in the rear to even it out a bit.

Keep up the good work !
