+ Satin Black Updates +
The car looks awesome. If I ever get mine repainted I just may go this route. The rear shot is awesome. Based on the badge in the top center of the rear bumper I'm assuming it's authentic Chargespeed, but it looks like the fitment is not quite on? Top edge of the bumper kind if bows up in the middle and fitment around driver side rear taillight looks a little weird. Maybe just a shop fit-up issue?
IMO you couldn't have picked a better wheel color to go with the satin paint, looks great!

The car is going back to the body shop after Sharif is done with it, so they can iron out the fitment issues we have pointed out.
thanks - actually we found out my dealership lied to me and the car was in a mild wreck before I bought it a few years back, and it wasn't on carfax of course. So yeah fitment isn't perfect.

I'd take out the forged stickers in the front bumper, the ones on the windows are cool. +1 on what others said about blacking out the FMIC also. It stands out too much.
Still not sold on the paint job, but I'm sure it looks much better in person, very well executed ride w/ quality parts and top-notch shop work.

the bumper was a replica from Shine but i found out my Z was in a wreck before I bought it. So the authentic chargespeed rear's fitment is off on the driver side too.

Looks great.
You previoulsy stated you wanted to paint your lips black on the RE30's.
Are you still going to do that? I think phantom would be sick on your setup.
