I like the red. Get rid of the Nissan Burgers and it would look even better!

Are you going to keep stock rims or are you considering polished ones? Depending on what your future styling mods are should help you decide.

go for the chrome. the red makes the car look a little cheap. but beware, b/c i read that some 350z owners that did the same mod had problems with chrome strips falling off. i'd recommend you get the stillen street scene grille. get it and powdercoat it black. i think that would look best. (mine's in a dark grey color) good luck.

I dont want them on my car, but I think they look good on others, as someone said, depends on your future plans, mine is to sorta go stealthy, not bright.

the red looks good... but I like the chrome better, and the paint would flake eventually, definitly not worth it.
