Message I understand and appreciate your suggestions. I'm not sure how this will end yet. This may seem strange (with a wide body) but I am going to try and make the "stock" look work as much as possible. I really like the look of the car stock too. But, I have a set of the wider front fenders from Kuah/SPL that I'll be able to test fit after the frame shop pulls the pinch rail into the correct position again.

The plan is to shave the clearance lights and rock guard on the stock rear fascia. Rock guard will go away on the entire car and be replaced with the new 3M protective coating. 99 fascia, taillights and wing will all add to an updated 99 style look. I'll test fit both sets of fenders with the front fascia and then have to make a decision on how "stock" I'll leave the look.

Not sure about wheels yet either. I'm going to have to use 18s to clear the Stop Tech brake kit that Coz should be shipping any day now? Unfortunately there won't be a lot of choices for the size/weight I'll want on the rear. (HRE, Work, etc.) I'm pretty sure I'll get 335s on the back but I'll wait until we can accurately measure to get what will really fit and perform properly.

I do like the look of the 300Z stock. But a bigger contact patch, better air flow through brakes, intercoolers, radiator and entire engine compartment can't hurt the performance. This won't be a DD so I don't have to maintain some of the compromises the Nissan design engineers had to live with. Some of this is why I'm sure you've designed your front fascia the way you have.
