If you ran -3 out back it would look 10000X better but you would need less aggressive offset wheels for that.

BTW guys, I have no problems with my car slipping or sliding around. Contrary to what you are probably thinking, the car stays fairly well planted to the ground. Toe settings are back into factory spec too. It takes real engineering to pull that off my friends

Here are some random picture I found on the internet of how I want to setup my rear camber again. In the original pictures at the top of the thread I have more camber than these pics from last year.
I think it looked better last year with less camber, gotta fix that soon!
I will prob add just a hair more camber in the rear just so the rear tire tucks in fully like the front and all you end up seeing is the top of the wheel lip flush with the fender (like the fronts).

I dunno, I'm from Cali and I love the VIP style setup. Although I'm biased, I'm a Z owner who secretly wished he had a Toyota Celsior 
what brand of Air Suspension are your running? Air runner?
could you post anymore detailed pictures of the air suspension set up? switches, tanks etc?
I mean, the car is great to look at, love the Napa Valley setting.. but zero points on practicality ... BUT hey, We all own two door sports cars, so I don't think practically was in anyones vocab when it came to the Z.
Looks good!

You keep saying "the style" but you failed at that also because all the cars I see with the vip look have the wheels tucked without all that obsessive camber. Its a shame too because I love your choice of rim too, I think you could have had a great looking ride until you tried to go Ganksta!
FAILED!!!!!
FAILED!!!!!

Okay, that looks muchhhh better IMO. Still a bit excessive... but a big improvement from the first OP's.
To say that this is not a performance issue would be ridiculous and ignorant. If the VIP style is what your looking for, then great you did the job. But even most VIP guys will admit they are sacrificing practicality and performance to run these set-ups. I don't doubt your cars capabilities of driving, Im sure you've found a way to cope with it daily driving. Is it an optimum set-up to use the Z's full potential ?? .. not by the slightest.
.
Again your Z is very clean and I really dig the pictures.
