the work done is perfect, congratulation.

but the Z looks like someone dumped 2 tanks of white paint on it. too much white to me (with the mirror panels, b pillar panels, and door handles)

Untint the tails and remove the license plate cover to add some contrast of other color. Then IMO it needs different wheels and better with a better offset for the body kit.

great looking car plus one of the best widebody kit you can get came out realy nice.
i have few points if i may point them to you

pros

body kit
rims
headlight
color

cons

-too much white maybe an carbon roof will fix that or over lay in black
-JDM rear tail light or non tinted tail light
-keep B pilar in carbon
-keep the door handle in factory color or maybe get GTR35 door handle ( seen them on g35 looks great )

By far the best wide body kit made for a Z... It looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man with all that white though.

you lucked out with the fatherinlaw help.
i'm a big fan of the white, but a little bit overkill on there - looks chalky.
when you do the carbon fiber (if you must - i'd do the kevlar rather than the traditional), it should go on the pillars, handles, sideview mirror panels.
I suggest painting them a dark metallic gray rather than carbon fiber.
Would put the taillights back to stock. the red would look better than blacked out - imo
get a little headlight work done (darken them up a little as the chrome doesnt help the white) and better wheels and you'll be golden.
Not hating - just the steps I would take from where you are at currently.
