Wow that looks kick ***. I like what you did with the canards. They look mean mounted like that. I found a pic of those tail lights with a light smoke. They would look good with your setup. Here you go.

Looks good... Not a big fan of flat black on Z, but whatever floats your boat.. 
I once thought about painting my Z flat black, but after looking at numerous flat black cars I came to a realization that flat black only looks good on cars with lots of details such as creases, vents, over fenders and big wings. Without any color, people are instantly drawn to these little details and accents.. Unfortunately, Z is just too slick hence no focal points... no accents... Veilside V3 overfender kit or something similar looking bodykit would have been a better choice. Just my .02
Here are examples of what I'm talking about.

Sandy said Sharif had my car on the dyno today. I'll know more details tomorrow or friday. I'm really excited because he told modified mag about my car and they got really excited and might do a feature on it!

Damn I usually have the thought that the Z wouldn't look good in a satin/matte look much for the reason that I think exotic cars look a bit better with it. I thought the Z was too smooth to pull it off...but damn man, that looks really really nice.

don't tint the tails/windows, looks good without it keep it "fishbowled" see the exotics no tint. IMO if you tint it out it wouldn't look as good to me...just add the new headlights

yeah true, no tint on the exotics... i might keep it untinted. if I do tint i was gonna make it very subtle.... especailly the tails..
i can't wait to see with the new headlights though
