It looks good, but stock looked better...maybe you just started out with a nice set of pics because I usually like the blacked out look

Paint the headlight housings, black out the tails, turns, and sidemarkers, paint the door handles and emblems and it will look awesome...just continue the theme

in my opinion i do like the "silver-wheel" look thats just me though... dont worry it doesnt look as bad as when one of the members here painted his stock '06 wheels gold on a black car

happy modding take it easy

no "blacked" out tail lights plz ... with all black everything that seriously is a big "no no"

in glendale it is notorious for S and CLS class Benz to do that blacked-out everything just kills the whole class and everything of the car

Maybe just do a light smoke on your front bumper reflector and slam the car to the ground. i remember seeing a few Z's like that a few years back, i thought it looked pretty aggressive.
