other than those points, that's a very sick Z you have. i love leguna seca blue!



+1 with some edits

06 headlights blacked out and get some spacers asap or replace the wheels with better offsets

your car is a mess. laguna seca blue is one of my favorite colors and you managed to screw up a possibly epic-ly great repaint.

a few quick thoughts:

- your mirror bases look ridiculous now in body color, especially with cf mirror covers and a pillars.
- the unpainted fender vents (if you painted most of the other CF this could look cool, possibly).
- the cf sideskirts...
- the cf hatch...
- the cf hood...
- the cf lip?
- the painted door handles?
- the wheel offsets (I think you are replacing them)

post up pics with the new wheels though, could help.

very nice rims i just dont think they suit your car .. the red on them just does not help out with everything that is already goin on in my opinion but some all black rims would look better ....black out the lights to get rid of the little bit of orange would help out to ...overall though this is a pretty bada$$ z
