Welcome to CL. I'd say to take a page out of your buddies book who owns the Z. It's clean and simple, yet still looks aggressive. Your car looks like it's having a bit of an identity crisis in it's current state.

Since you asked... not my style.

However, one suggestion I do have to complete your theme is to ditch that chrome grille surround for a dark pearl/cf/black surround. Kinds sticks out like a sore thumb.

Do your thing though, and as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Not a fan of the 2 tone.

Does that chip where the fender meets the front bumper bother you? Cuz it's driving me crazy.

Paint the grill, the chrome on the black sticks out so much (not in a good way).

Your roof and sides look matte, yet the bumper and spoiler looks glossed. Try going with one or the other.

Is the spoiler CF? Maybe paint it black to match.

Redouts!!

Hood too wild. Nothing wrong with a boring ol' stock hood.

But in the end of the day, it's your car. Do what you like.

Welcome to CL.

But, not feeling the two-tone. Too much black in the front.

Anyway, it's your car so do whatever you want.

What part of cali are you in?

Default Welcome.

Welcome to the CL hope you enjoy your stay, nothing but a bunch of great guys here.

Now to your car................I would paint all the black parts white but keep the roof black and you will have a sick looking ride. Not a fan of "over vented" hoods but if you like it rock on!

Again welcome.

Welcome to CL, though you said you aren't so new.
Not a fan of the two-tone, but it looks alright and it's a head-turner, definitely.
I suggest same as the other guys, pain the bumper and hood or just go back to plain stock hood.
red-outs and visors (someone already said this too).
wheels get lost on your first picture, IDK about in person, but I like to tell the wheels from the car ... unless you are trying to look like you are floating when driving at night, too dark for my taste!
