Am I crazy, or is it missing something?

Think the wheels are throwing everything off. Change the color or get some polished wheels and i think it would be set.
They seem too dull

As far as the rest of the car, you can:
Dip Black Handles
Dip Black Emblems
Black Vinyl Roof
Dip Side Markers Black Outer Ring, With White Z Emblems
Extend black on fangs down onto Stillen Lip
Dip Side Mirrors Black
Also, it might look nice to get some white plastidip and white-out one of the cross lines on the fang. The middle one would look good white, and leave the other 2 lines black.

Also, stock tow hook in the trunk. Remove that, get some white dip, and add it to the front bumper. It adds more contrast to the front of the car...

I apologize for the lack of responses you guys. thanks for all the posts, I've really appreciated all the input and ideas. Ive been working 16 hour shifts since monday due to a shortage of staff, great for my paycheck but all I've been doing is sleeping as soon as i get home lol.

soo, now that I've gotten some free time.

im considering changing the rim color first. Id much rather have the headlight shrouds in silver but its such a paining the *** to get them removed and opened.
Ill most likely go with the Forgestar-F14, super deep concave and go with a darker color. Not sure which yet since they have so many cool looking colors lol.

Ive also decided to do my roof black, and CF mirror covers. I'm not sure if i want to do the emblems black because i also don't want to much of a panda thing going on lol. If all else fails and i still don't like how it looks, i might just open my headlights again Or just trade them and start all over. But i think a change in rims would definitely make a difference, maybe i can Powder coat these for now.

If you want to go back to silver, trade with someone

yeaahhh.... seems like its going to be the quickest and easiest way to deal with this. To be honest I've been lazy to remove the bumper and get the headlights out lol.

I think the car looks great, but I do like simplicity. I would paint the emblems,side markers, and door handles black. I would also consider carbon fiber mirror covers and b pillar covers just to add something to pop out on the side of the car.

Z370Z011 · 03-22-2014, 09:02 PM

Everyone seems to be suggesting door handles, emblems, and side markers so I'll just give it a go with some plasti dip lol

Zteve · 03-23-2014, 07:35 AM

on a white car black is a bit much without any other contrast. a matte gunmetal would have looked a bit better and left the shrouds silver IMO

DatsunFTW · 03-23-2014, 07:54 AM

To be completely honest, I think it looks good the way it is. I would only black out the handles and that's it. I color matched my emblems and it looks so much better to me. If you don't like the emblems, just grab a can of black dip.

So I feel like my car is missing something, like it needs that “cherry on top” kind of thing. Not sure if it's the rims, the headlight, or if I'm just crazy. Also my Stillen lip has died, so I'll be getting an Evo-R lip, and was considering some CF mirror covers to add some more black and hope it makes a difference?

Anyhow, any suggestions or opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance

this would look good on my z. If you wanted to swap with cash let me know, I could see why you don't like it but I plan on balcking out my doors, badges and front of car. hit me up if you are interested.
