From the tech end,its your car.See if you can get the the wheels&offsets right to get the results you are looking for.
From the design end,black bolt on flares on a silver body(pink was an experiment gone bad?)etc,its a train wreck.Just does'nt with a Z unless blended in and same body color.
If you like that look,buy a Hummer.

Pinks stuff is vinyl and it can be peeled off. My front fender and rear quarter panels will be getting cut and welded together to assure no rubbing issues. I don't like doing what everyone else is doing, pulling fenders/widebody. I like being different : ).......haters goin to hate. We'll see how things go.

I'm going to the WFC meet on the 22nd also, I will have a chance to see this up close. Personally, I think it will "not look good". Anyway, good luck!

once you cut its not a big deal. you can always buy seibons or an OEM quarter panel and tack it back on.. theres certainly "going back" , its just not a 100$ fix.. but surely not expensive. Make sure you cut it right btw... at a minimum get some 1/8" pvc/steel edge molding on that flange, but the right way is to cut in from your trace lines and fold it in or out and tack the 2 layers together as you cut off the xcess. Seal it when youre done.
Thats what was done to mine.
The bolt hole for your rear bumper is the lame part.. if you can deal w moving it back a few inches you can radiu out more of your wheel well.. youll see.
and about molding vs non... RWB.. FTW. Leave them screws man.

RWB remains flush with the wheel from top to bottom and I think the issue based upon the example pictures of the Z the OP posted is that the top sticks our much further than the bottom, making it look "off"... Like it just doesn't flow. If it ended up like an RWB, then hells yeah!
