BBK definitely. Then stop and enjoy your beautifully done Z.

I think the Z looks really good as is also but def understand what you mean. I like both oem and TS style hoods. Amuse or V3 front. Gold or silver wheels. Color match door handles. BBK w a caliper color that will pop behind it--depending on your wheel choice. I really like the Stillen wing myself and the headlights done tastefully like said. I think the tint looks fine as is. If you keep the wheels, I think nice big yellow calipers would stand out really well behind there. A bigass FMIC would def bring some attention and never gets boring also.

BBK in red to tie in with the red tails.
Also get red lug nuts on all black wheels. Small touch (optional)

Example of light blue touch

Red on blue looks good. I've always liked yellow too.

Definitely appreciate the feedback so far. This afternoon sometime I'll get to responding to individual ideas and questions but I don't wanna type everything out on my phone while at work.

That SMB that Aust posted is sick btw.

Thanks for the responses guys

One of these.

Since SMB is dark, you don't currently have a focal point. A well-fitted set of polished alum. wheels or gold wheels w/ polished lip would set it off!

I couldnt find another members smb z also. He had 19" gold volk gts-slammed. Looked so baddass. I think gold def makes it pop. Maybe just get the wheels PC or painted.

Your Z looks great man. You can get a Nissan or a Z emblem for the front bumper (idk it's just my taste), some drilled and slotted rotors or better yet a big brembo brake kit, red or yellow seats, a wash, wax, a good detailing and it will look beautiful. Whatever you do, don't do anything to mess up the natural shape of the car that makes it beautiful.

I love the way it looks as is, if anything then wheels. Hyper silver or gold.

To all the people saying gold wheels, I like that suggestion a lot, so much in fact that I actually have a set of gold 19" AME circlar spec R wheels in my garage as my second set. I had them on the car for two summers then bought these ce28n's. The gold does look good with the dark blue. My plan is to put them back on in a couple months unless I can find someone to sell them to or trade for a set of black Te37's which I've wanted for a long time.

I think you should look into wrapping it in a different color if you're over the blue. Also, maybe you need a turbo or supercharger and need to clean up your engine bay. Interior CF and some racing seats and harness Bar would be cool. Gold wheels would be sick. Lots of things you could do.

the car looks clean and classy right now. If you wanna go ahead and turn it into a high school car get some colorful wheels.

Perspective...you are missing perspective.

I had a super black though and know what you mean. Wish I had gone with gold wheels.

So here's what is definitely going to happen...

- BBK, either red or light blue plus lug nuts of the same color
- Lower it slightly
- All black or all mag blue wheels if I can find them. No polished lips or anything like that. I really like the dark on dark look like the Z aust posted. In the mean time I can put my gold wheels on.

possible changes
- Seibon TS hood
- Front bumper swap to amuse

I really appreciate all the feedback guys
