That looks great! Nice Z. It would also look good if you painted the grill black and got black canards...maybe even paint all lips

The color seems to match in person.
I think it must be the lighting or camera.

Ok...
The Z is going back to the shop this wednesday for 1 day.
I decided to get the middle part of the front bumper painted entirely black and add a black mesh grill.
Still thinking about CF canards.

Will it look weird if I were to paint the front lip black but leave the sides and rear in red?

Im gald to see that you're going with the blacked out center I think that you should definetly remove the nismo window strip too and your outside will look perfect.
BTW if you decide to get jdm tails i got dibs on the factory tails

here's a few photochops of your car to help you...

i'd suggest adding eyelids too...but that's really all based on your own preferences

center blacked out


center blacked out, center bar left redline


ceter blacked out, center bar left redline, and lip in a semi gloss black (near matte)


same thing, but no eyelids...


see, to me that just looks like the 350Z is shocked or suprised

FTMFW!!! There ya go, I decided for you

I'd go with the pick above, but also paint the lip, sides and rear thingies black and you got yourself one hot ride.

no problem. As for getting the eyelids, decide whether you want them CF or painted. From what i've seen, unless you're getting a CF hood and leaving it unpainted, the CF eyelids don't really look great, but that's just my opinion. Paint matched eyelids look great. AUT makes a good set. If you can't find it cheaper, here's AUT's website:

AUT Unpainted FRP Eyelids
AUT Carbon Fiber Eyelids
