And like they said, buy stock... HOWEVER there are exceptions to that rule.
I did not buy my Z stock but from talking to the owner and seeing how he took car of the car I could tell I had nothing to worry about.
This is how I bought mine

I hope the stripe is Gone Now that you own it

Funny you say that because I actually hated it in pictures too. Then I saw it in person and I absolutely love it. Since then I have actually added another one to complete the kit.

+1... ugly to you or not those stripes are in the Nissan blood line. It's a tasteful mod and widely accepted.

EDIT: Good job on completing the hood piece Craig.

Default Removing a Body Kit?

How does it look? I'm buying a Z with a body kit and want to remove it because I love the stock Z look. The body kit is screwed in over all of the stock parts, does anyone have any pictures of what it would look like with tiny screw holes like how noticeable they may be? May have to just settle and keep the kit or sell the kit and buy new stock parts.

just look for another z without a kit... you will have to fill all the holes and if it was screwed in, it wasnt put on correctly.

I don't see why you couldn't unscrew it and if you don't like it with the holes just screw them back in

See if you can swap the kit with someone who has the same color car.

Unscrewing a body kit is not a good idea. Yes, it'll look like a$$ with all the little holes in it and no, removing them is not a good idea as self-tapping screws don't always go back in as securely as the first time they're used. If they're blind rivets, you can actually damage the body panel or aftermarket part by removing them.

Well that is good to know, don't listen to my bad advice below!

Seems the best thing to do is try swapping them with somebody that has the same color car
