You're missing a painted grille. Get that plastidip crap off lol. The Kuruma Z imo is the sexiest and one of the most aggressive bumpers you could get, however, it isnt pulled off well when you run just the bumper.. because now your front is lower than the sides and the rear which looks pretty awkward.
Well now I got wheels car looks much better and is getting lowered even more very soon. But the above post is correct. The kuruma z alone runs too low and is very awkward and that's why I have felt like that and still do a bit.
The color of your car hides the beautiful lines of the G. The rims need to be wider, they have that sunken in look. The sides and rear look fine with the kuruma z but, I'd upgrade the brakes to give it all that nice pop. Also I'd purchase a factory grill and paint obsidian black and add the chrome mount Fuji emblem. Paint it factory Diamond Graphite add a duck bill trunk and your golden. Please, don't add an exhaust with an angle. Get something that compliments the rear like an exoticspeed, hks, meisterchraft, tomei, or something custom. Carbon fiber pieces with that color won't work. Just my two cents.

i would actually love to paint the car obsidian black, but i have never believed in spending $2000+ on paint for a car over 10 years old especially living in nyc where the paint will need too much care.
Also, my exhaust scrapes badly when im not even extremely low yet, is it like this for anyone else? I drive slow and at an angle but here or there like once a week you will hear the exhaust pipe scraping.
Paint trunk lid, wider wheels (or wheel spacers), side skirts (so the car is the same distance from the ground all around - which you've noted), fix fascia fitment issue by front DS fender, get proper exhaust or go back to stock, remove stickers.
If you're going to keep the car, paint it, if not then leave it be. I'm running 20's on my coupe with a mild drop on factory struts and shocks and, I have no problems at all. In the rear I'm running 275 30 20's and in the front I'm running 255 35 20's. Once the 275's wear out I'm switching to 285's. I also have an exotic speed exhaust. Painting it obsidian black would DEFINITELY be the way to go. With your kuruma z bumper it would look killer. Those wheels I'd sell immediately and get a better (wider) set.

$2k is just for a respray - you'll still have trashy non-matching jambs/engine bay. Closer to $5k for a real paint job (unless you do the prep work yourself).
Lol, I just realized you go to my old school (CSI). You asked me what exhaust I had if I recall correctly.
Your G is the reason I went with the Kuruma z, motordyne is also the only exhaust sound I like. I prefer My ricer delete to anything besides the motordyne. I have many stalker pics of your car bro
I never liked the white emblem though.
Anyways, I spent my winter looking like this till about February/march. It has come a long way in just 3 or 4 months.

so my car was sides wept last summer, I used it the entire winter with a broken hanging bumper and the 2003 extremely yellow reflectors. saved up some money and bought projectors and a kuruma z bumper and other small mods here and there. but today my car feels like it's missing something. I hope it's just the rims I'm waiting on but it feels like the front end isn't as nice as I pictured. It's also lowered about 2 inches. Any suggestions? I somewhat regret the kuruma z and preferred to just put a lip on the stock bumper or go with nismo front. Some people have told me it's the dull custom color the previous owner did. Darker than DG.
The car only has 90k miles and 2003. biggest regret with this car is the fact it's a 5AT and not 6MT . Thinking of selling it to buy a newer black 6mt.
Upgraded tails and went wingless (black for now)
I'm also looking for any exhaust ideas. So far running a muffler delete. I'm thinking of a single exhaust toyota supra style (Somewhat crooked) or running long pipes out of the back. Something unique lol
I think it looks pretty good. Your definitely onto something with that black 6MT though!
By driving an auto, I feel that I'm being deprived of an essential part of the driving experience.
