Do you have any before pics of your Z?
I don't think it looks that bad. I do agree with everyone else regarding the mud flaps and front blacked out headlights.
I got the rear 06 led tails professionally smoked. It was very minor though, I didn't like how bright the housing was compared to the 03's. Also have the AUT eyelids with the inside of the headlights done by Mr. Zipps, highly recommend.
Check it out!
Wish I had better pics but my Z is stuck in my driveway awaiting a new intake I traded with a member on here and has yet to arrive

-4 on non matching paint and ugly kit
-5 on e-bay bubble
tails-6 on dual spoiler action, oh **** is that a celica spoiler
I am sure there are some more craptacular things I missed but I think I got the basses covered.
Please don't show me this Z ever again, it makes me sad
OP's Z looks a hundred times better IMO.

Everyone who mods their cars never get it right the first time.
That is why people keep changing up their set-up until they are happy.
I can speak for my self as well. Everyone has their own opinion and you asked for opinions on a public forum. there will always be haters in any forums. People are narcissists when it comes to their own cars because its our pride and joy. Not everyone can afford top notch parts but again, why put crappy ebay parts on your car when you can save a little more for quality stuff.
So if you don't mind, let me tell you what I think.
1) Tailight overlays to me are not rice. It looks best on black cars
(One guy above mentioned that if its not functional its rice.....gimme a break...like you really feel the downforce on a nismo spoiler or you can really tell the differece on the fuctionality between a V2 Bumper and a stock.)I have aero parts on my car because it looks agressive.
2)Headlight overlays just don't look nice(to me)
3)Those mudflaps need to go or need to get painted
4)those reflectors look wierd cuz the bumper is also painted partially black.
Other than that, I might have potential.
Here is my car, feel free to criticize.
I actually like my tailights

Those non matching silver b-pillar covers ruin the "dark theme" of your car-whcih seems overdone in the front reflector area. And the black middle front bumper makes your Z look like it has Jeep quality ground clearance in that first pic for some reason. You also need a CF hood to match the hatch IMO. Not feeling your set-up, but hey its YOUR car..last pic is nice

I think if you did the top half in CF that would look sick, and agree with everyone else I def. see some jigsaw paint scheme going on. If you don't know what I mean please refer to the link bboypuertoroc posted above. Doesn't look as bad as in the first pics though so good job!

Definitely looks better. Since you removed your flaps, you can probably drop it a little more too. I'd remove the black areas around the front reflectors though and maybe consider a lip kit if you don't want to spend too much on a full bumper. Also, I think you should definitely repaint the rear bumper unless your sporting the new "jigsaw paint" scheme

OP, have your bumpers ever been painted or are they still original? I know when I had my Le Mans Z the bumper paint was slightly off, from the factory.
Car is screaming for a drop... would help the wheels look a bit better (I'm not a fan of them, but wheels are always an opinion thing).
Tony (gotta love teh jigsaw paint)
