the only problem i see with eletrical tape is once it heats up significantly, the adhesive will start to separate and peel.. i did the same thing with my RE30s with orange TA ring and vinyl cut from a sticker place, so far its held up, but i made sure the surface underneath the sticker was free from any oils/waxes to make it stick better.. you'll notice that brake dust will get stuck at the overlap areas so just be sure to wipe it off else you'll get a black streak.
good job.
good job.

One big strand. You might need to do some adjustments with the exact-o knife .

I know. I saw the pictures. I did stuff like this to my 1995 3000gt.....not my Z. But hey, can't tell from 5' feet away so I guess it fly’s. I'm surprised that this hasn't turned into a mega flame event already. I don't suppose you're going to lay out racing stripes with duct tape are you? Cause that would be teh awesomeness and junx.....

ur TA theme looks pretty clean but honestly im tired of the nut jobs out there who do try and fail completely. They make my time attacks look bad and they're own cars much worse. I dont want people thinkin i have the same crap rims as someone who painted their rims black and made a red out line for a lip... Im really tempted to go out an get some HRE's cuz of all those guys.. But urs never the less look clean man, props.
