I stole these from a Google image search. I like.

Didn't even think of a google search. Look like I need to find a junkyard door and see where my body work skills are after 10 years of no use.

The door handles are an iconic part of the styling of the Z34. Rather than mess with them, just leave them alone and go with a monochromatic paint scheme for the car.

I love the alloy wheels. The brighter silver really makes them pop. Then your door handles and emblems match your wheels. No more work required

...actually I'd highly recommend swapping the Nissan emblems for the satin silver Z emblems. The satin silver emblems match the satin silver wheels and door handles exactly! They look great:

Gunmetal wheels look great on a dark colored car. On red I agree that the alloy looks best. Really can't go wrong though... unless you go with fluorescent.

I agree. In the truck/SUV world the completely shaved look is one I like but those shaved Zs just look off to me.

I agree that the door handles are iconic symbols of the z line, however I couldn't stop focusing on the door handles. They drew my eyes to them like a black eye. I thought that it ruined the flow and lines of the car, so I had mine painted. In the end it comes down to a personal preference.

It does but your car still looks better than completely shaved to me.

Two tone with dark wheels looks awesome.
