Aesthetically the car looks very awkward. You have Carbon Fiber, White, Red, tips that stick out sideways(and far out as well) like you see on modified pickup trucks, and no mesh grills on either side of the bumper to hide the true 'bumpers' that help protect you in an accident.
It is like you are trying to do too many things at once.
Have you considered painting the ENTIRE rear bumper? I think that would go a loooong way towards cleaning up the look of the car. Straighten out the tips and the car will look fantastic.
You can only have so many angles and colors on the rear of the car before it starts looking like a Picasso.

what in gods name are u talking about man? first of all there is mesh on both side of that rear bumper. second of all i like that my exhaust sits sideways, thats the point boss. 3rd its down right dumb to paint carbon fiber, especially if you're going for that look so i would not paint the whole rear bumper...4th i like how the car looks now, all u guys see is an upclose pic of the red tails, u dont see the complete picture which to me still looks good.

Ask anyone in design and they will tell you that a setup like yours visually detracts from the flow of the design that is already present. Ask yourself why you are one of the only G35's(or any two door sportscar for that matter) with an exhaust that points outward. The answer is that it looks awkward and screams that it has more rice than a sushi roll.

Also, carbon fiber and kevlar panels are painted all of the time. Look all the way back to the Ferrari F40 up to modern exotics that are made from Carbon Fiber. In fact, the only one out of all of the modern cars that I have seen in raw carbon fiber is a Pagani Zonda, of which only 1 or 2 of the production are like this. But, whatever.
I personally think raw carbon fiber can look good, I am just pointing out your odd logic.

Now, I will be the first to congratulate you on the fact that you love the way your car looks. You are the one who drives it, so if your way gives you pleasure, more power to you! Right?
It is all in the eye of the beholder. A comparisson would be that, TO ME, it makes about as much sense as wearing a red polka dot tie with a brown suit, white belt, black shirt, and gold chains. But hey, it is LAMBO WHITE*!
*I couldn't resist, it is a joke

Enjoy your ride. Please post a pic of the whole car if you have one, maybe it does in fact look better as a whole.
Again, just an opinion, take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the **** out of your car, even if it is a little Picasso-esque
