I had a few pictures taken and had them "quickly" edited, I'm going back over them now. I'm still waiting on the wheels. Let me know what you all think

it'd look nice with blacked or clear corners.. that orange throws it off bad. and painted lights would be pretty kickass too. i'm not sure if i like the random bits of red, but it doesn't throw in a nice accent..

I like it, the orange has to go ASAP, and get your camber fixed and get all black rims, the red doesnt work with this color scheme either. You could get away with black faced wheels and polished/satin lips as well.

All in all I like the car alot! paint quality looks great and I like the colored door handles.

PS. also paint the tow hook metal black.

definitely:

- lose the orange markers
- get 06 headlights and taillights
- lose the red accents, i think it clashes with the leguna seca blue

i'd also paint the upper half of the side skirts LSB as well, the CF is overwhelming


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

stance looks great. the TA stripe is a no good for me. I hate eye lids with a passion. I would also paint the upper half the cf sideskirts and front lip. 06 blacked out headlights would also set the car off. so far so good but it could look even better imho.

Agreed. Very much potential with that car but it seems like you couldn't decide which way you wanted to go with the styling of it so you kinda mixed them all together. But anyways... love the blue color and the pictures look awesome! Interior shots maybe?

Thanks for all the comments, initially the car was a Super Black, so it looked good with the time attacks and red accents, but now with the new color I agree with all of you, it definitely needs to go, I'm heading to my shop tonight to have them fix one of my side skirts, SOMEONE TRIED TO STEAL MINE! So it cracked it several spots, hopefully they can fix it.


Maybe they can black out the corners or I can find a pair on ebay or something.

Thanks for the comments, I'm waiting on wheels, any suggestions?

I love that color on the M3. I think, for the Z, the DB is better than the Laguna Seca Blue.

BTW, how did you cut the front grille out? How's the structural integrity of the front bumper without the support from the grille?
