Thanks for the feedback guys, I definitely agree with everyone's comments about dropping it. I know it would look better. I just need to decide if I should. I'm still leaning towards dropping it.

car looks great by the way
I got all the replica parts from Strafe Automotive from the vendor on this forum named "Sales@Strafe". Now, I knew it was a risk buying replica, and the parts definitely needed work to get the proper fitment, but I have a really good body shop near me that specializes in custom body work. If you go replica, make sure you have a good body shop that will spend the necessary time to get the fitment right.

I think you could go with a more aggressive front to offset the chargespeed rear, but overall I think it looks good. Nice job.
A couple of people have recommended painting the headlights. Not sure if I'm going to do that or not. I would go with '06 lights if I do (my car is an '05). We'll see, not a huge priority for me right now. There's some other things I would like to do first.
As for the front. I debated getting the Amuse front bumper for so long. Picking a front bumper is a pain. Ultimately, I decided I would go more subtle and just get a front lip knowing it would be easier to swap if I changed my mind.
So, a lot of people have recommended dropping the car, to which I agree. Now in my original post I mentioned the Eibach Pro Kit Springs (app. $225 and 1" drop) and another option I was considering was the Hotchkis Lowering Springs (app. $190 and 3/4" drop - slightly less of a drop, which might be a good idea). To those who have dropped their Z...what are some things you suggest and what might you have done differently if anything? Thanks.
stick w stech's from tein and cut the rear rubber stop. these springs are mild and
will actually improve drive feel from stock. find some used hotchkis or cobb sways too!
Clean , but the tinted tails seem to take away from the car. It lacks definition in the rear cause of it. Just replace the tails, non smoked (its not the 90's anymore) and your set.
