Sometimes its a little tough posting pics of you ride looking for positive reinforcement but then get shot down...The best advice if you're going to continue to share is not be too serious about it...its just a hobby, something you do in your spare time. Don't be so sensitive in what people say and just brush it off and laugh about it. The ultimate judge is yourself, so if it makes you happy, then stand by your choices 100%...and just filter out what others say but in a positive way. Don't waste your energy in anger...one day you'll think what you've done looks amazing, and the next day you'll tear it apart and make something else..no worries.

It still amazes me that ANYONE would post pics of their Z and ask for opinions!!!!! 
It's an open invitation to have every emotionally twisted and/or jealous person to pass judgement on what you have done to your car with hard work & money!!!
First off who cares what others think of your car!! - If you are looking for approval from this crowd you're knocking on the wrong door!!! I don't think my car looks nice I KNOW IT!! I don't need to hear other people say it.
(Hope I don't come off as a total a$$ - def not trying 2 B 1)
Secondly, everyone's financial situation is different. It's really cruel to make disparging remarks about someone's car especially since we all put our heart & soul into making the car special. Constructive criticism is one thing, but people should remember not to say things to others they would not want to hear themselves.
Just my 2c
BTW
What do you think of my car?? roflmmfao

I personaly Like everything on the car, except the blacked out headlights/tails.
stock OEM tails look great, and 06 black housing headlights would look sick with your setup. But its your car.
I would not be happy with the paint job on that rear bumper, it looks horrible make them repaint it. DO THAT NOW. It doesnt match. I made the body shop paint my rear 3 times before i was happy.
Nice start on everything else.

....car's nice, to a certain extent.
Wheels are nice, got them too. Did you get wheel spacers? If so, hope they're hubcentric. And again, wheels are personal preferrence.
Do get rid of the tints on the headlights and tail lights. And as mentioned, maybe 06 headlights w/ housing painted black or possibly color match with your car. As with the tail lights, go for the 06+ LED's bro. I'm sure there are a few members here that are selling theirs for cheap. Search is your best friend.
A front lip would be nice also. Mud guards do need to be color matched, and as for the rear bumper, it does look unmatched, but if you say it's the lighting then I'll give you that. But do align the rear hatch a bit more.
So there you go. It's a work in progress as you say. I'm sure you'll edit a few things. Just take some time on it bro.

basically, if you take off the tint on the head and tail lights, you'll fix 80% of the issues. since you've already taken off the mudguards, you've done 90%.
it's all "work in progress," so don't get too bent out of shape.
