What Do You Think?

I'm curious to see what the Z community thinks. This is the first time I've done anything like this.

I think you should take off that front plate bracket if you're not going to mount the front plate, it's a terrible look. And the stripes could stay through the weekend since it looks like you already spent a amount of time on it. It should be gone by Monday before many more people see it ...and don't forget spacers and moar low! But I think you already knew that

^^ This. Sorry, not a fan of the exterior red accents. The interior looks ok though. But yes, get a drop, install spacers, and lose the plate bracket.

If you like it, run with it. Nothing wrong with personalizing your ride...just saying

It's different, not too over the top

Might do a CF rear spoiler and white letter sidewalls to get the race car theme going.

I think the stripes would look a lot better if they were a satin black or flat black. Something that doesn't pop out as much. A wiseman once said.... "less in more sometimes"

Stripes are hard to pull off on the Z. The idea of a subtle color for your stripes mentioned earlier might work. You should give it a try.

I give you A for effort but Sorry I personally don't like it. Props for originality though. The only thing I like is the Z painted logo.

Not something that I would do but it looks pretty good to me - especially for a first effort.

I'd try it without the lateral stripes at top/bottom of windshield and maybe make the stripes a little wider. The flat/satin black or more subtle color stripes that have been mentioned sound interesting.

It's not terrible but not great either. I think the red accents should be little bit more subtle kinda like the new Nismo.
