I already posted once, but I have to say I just love the potential in this car, so many Z's have tacky colors when fully resprayed....like orange/green/color change etc. This was a tasteful color change.
I think flat black RE30's with +teens offsets are the wheel for this car, after much staring at it, a lip wheel is not this cars calling. Maybe some CF GT style mirrors to complete the full look

Two things, did you do anything to your rear diffuser (Mastergrade? Top Secret?) to fit the JIC ti? Also i dont like the overall flow of the kit with the color, just clashes. I'd paint some of the carbon (look at Nitrouz's old Z) and not a fan of the painted mirror brackets..

Cut it out using a dremel(spelling) and then filed it down using one of those medium tooth steel files, took maybe an hour and then primed the whole front bumper it came out looking really good. I'm trying to find an ARC oil cooler now.

Damn, I'm too chicken to do that. It took me close to 3 years on deciding whether or not I should cut a hole for the air duct (during which time I bought 3 air ducts that I either returned or resold; 4th one was the lucky one).
I think a few tweaks would really make the color pop a bit more. Thumbs up for a rare color though

black reflectors do help, good job
The tailight tint took you a step back, and the smoked rear turnsignals looked better than the jet black. hate to be critical but your car has so much potential to be siick.
Loose the tailight tint, go back to the smoked rear signals, get rid of the eyelids, get some nasty offset wheels in all black and enjoy having a nasty Z.

can never go wrong with hRE. what finish do you plan on going with?
this is what I envisioned on your car, about 1/2 the cost of HRE
good luck with your ride, its my favorite full color change Z on here, too many oranges/lime green etc
