I see where you are getting at with the clear, but if you see my headlights in person, there's a matching amber bulb inside. It's faintly noticeable, but I prefer it over the clear. If my car was white or silver, then clear all the way. Otherwise, I'll keep them OEM because the "clear" looks more like white and it being such a light color, it stands out like a sore toe with my IF IMO.
As far as shaving it off, if I did that then more than likely I would have to fill that area with canards (which I don't want to). That's the reason why I chose the USDM version. My main focus is to keep my car looking like a "street" car. I'm still not done with this as I have still a long ways to go, but as I add or replace parts you'll see my plans come together more smoothly

Thanks!
The foundation for my exterior is “SHAPE”. That form I see on the corner of my eye, or the shadow I see in low light; even the last memory I have of a car that just zoomed by me…..it’s all a basis of shape and that’s what I build my car around. After that I work on detail piece by piece. I do my best to make sure the curves flow soundly, lines aren’t obstruct, and the car “as a whole” is synchronized; not just areas or certain parts.

Same here. I see a lot of cars with mix matching pieces and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not saying my style is better or good; that's simply all it is....."my style." I know, I've been slacking on some pix. If I don't wipe my car down or bring my lighting gear, I just point and shoot

The last piece of the puzzle for my exterior just came in and its on my car I just have to set aside some time to look for a good place to shoot her. I'm pretty much done with the exterior. I don't want to keep adding stuff...the last thing I want to do is over due my Z despite my shopping addiction lol.

Hey what's up Juan, how did you change your username? Anyways, yeah SC is a possible route but I'm not 100% sure. We'll see how things pan out; I'm really thinking of keeping my Z as a simple street car and might invest in an NSX down the road. How dope would that be to have an NSX in my garage next to my 350z

lol jk that would be pretty baller. I plan to do the same with my Z, a nice street car/show car with some power to back it up (just enough to where it still feels like it came out the factory that way). I just wish i had a DD like you so i can baby it instead of trashing it every day 
and i asked one of the admins to change my username
