Ok guys, thanks for your comments... After about 6 months of work on this project, reading all your comments give me one idea: I think I will jump from the highest bridge I can find... Don't care, I will not forget to bring the hood with me...
Seriously, I wanted to do something different and the supercharger was already on the car... So it was not my prefered design, but with a charger about 6" high on top of the engine, difficult to make a real wow.
I still have my stillen hood (the one with the emboss looking like the old eagle talon), I will paint it and give it a try... I hope it will help a bit... If not, then it will add an other car it looks like... Porsche, corvette... & Talon.
Custom exhaust by the way, not the corvette one.

I've always been in your situation with my cars.. My cars has always been different from the masses and I think that's one reason to my success in shows. Just continue designing and building the front of your car (hood & bumper), rear and side looks awesome to me and exhaust design almost made me jealous

that either they screwd up or,don't have a clue on what looks good.
With all the scoops,openings etc goin on with your car,one thing that would
make it look way better(at least greatly improve it)would be to go with
a single color for the whole car.Widebodies look best ALL BLACK.Keep the CF
parts CF.Change all the yellow to black.You will be surprised how the hood scoop will get "smaller".You got too much contast in colors going on.Its
fighting the whole look of what you are trying to accomplish.I had a similar
situation many years ago.Bought a Audi.It was a lighter yellow.I decided to add black accents..skirts,front lip etc.The more I added,the worse it looked.
This was before CF was available.All body mods were FG.I had the car painted all black.Looked pretty damn good.
I think your Z will change from a "not well done" wide body to one having a
aggressive mean look.You may even consider doing a matte black finish.
People will fear you!!

Not a big fan of the hood , but love that you tried something different. Looks a bit to muscle car to me. Front bumper is just ugly , rear is fine. Kinda has the HIN look to it.
