Nice parts Michael, I would have painted the kit differently but you can always do that in the future.

Welcome

Congrats.

Two tone looks cool but I think you should get a little more unique with the rear, where the red ends with the tail light.

personally I'd paint the remaining red panels to match the black. it looks like you tore off all the panels from a black nismo and decided that you were finished : P

It definitely has potential, I hope you get that steering wheel fixed, the paintjob can wait

Before I purchased the vehicle I was shown pictures of the body and didn't like the two tone red/black. I was so skeptical of the red, even the people trying to hate on it loved it when they saw it. I LOVE black vehicles, have always owned them, but in person the car is Beautiful. I will try to post pictures when its not overcast but the one thing that changes your mind, IS seeing the z in person!

I completely agree with the steering wheel comments, i'm not quite sure where to go with this one . The wheels range from 30-380 dollars. Right now Im looking at something like the one below. Any thoughts would be great, Thanks.

I'm sure a good upholsterer could restitch the leather for you as well for a cheaper option.
