Raf, great choice my friend, I'm not a fan of the red accents either. I love the stark and clean contrast of the black and white. You should have them paint your door handles white as well too and then do all your emblems in black. I can't wait to roll with you again when she is done!

Awesome dude! The car are going to look great!

Playing softball in St. George, UT that weekend. I might take the Z as there are some nice roads to drive up there!

Here's the instructions given to my body shop. All parts arrived finally.

Flat black on the top lip of the bumper opening. The rest is dark charcoal grey instead of the traditional black. No red trim.

He is killing me softly. Shot from the paint booth. I just noticed the rear bumper sat behind the front bumper.

Some progress.

Rear bumper test fitted again after painting. They will start taping for the dark charcoal sections of the kit.

I cannot wait to see the finished outcome on the front.

Visited the shop today. Not much progress other than taping for the dark sections. Should be done today and cleared once it dries. Fingers crossed - pick up on Saturday.
