Nice. The rears definitely tied it all in. Now to decide on the spoiler...

BTW, a bit more contrast wouldn't hurt on a red car, imo.

Thanks guys. What do you mean more contrast? I have set the spoiler on there a couple times and I just dont know if I can put up with that large of a spoiler on there.

Too red.

I personally hate the look of Nismo spoilers and prefer subtle ones.

I think he might be suggesting that if you had gone the same as your lip then it would set off the body from the sides, thus giving the car more contrast.

Hey...I have a Nismo wing and like it. I don't like the OEM rear spoiler. It doesn't look like anything special. WalkerT your Z is looking sweet and much more aggressive now with the sides & rears. I think your Nismo wing will give your Z the added aggressive look you need. Just my Op.

Yeah, that's kind of where I was getting at.

Some cars pull off the Nismo wing nicely, but I personally like the subtle and sleeper look when it comes to cars. However, there are always exceptions and some are based on color alone.

I don't think you need to touch a thing....looks great. Don't clutter up your car with too much crap. Keep it clean like it is.
