Message First of all - great job on generating this idea and presenting some concept pictures.

On to the feedback

Round fog lights: The round shape does not seem to compliment the overall design theme of the Z. It comes off as trying to look Euro in a VW Golf sort of way (don't ask me where that reference came from, it was my first reaction to seeing the picture). I think one of the strengths of the Z's design was the integration of rectangular fog lights that blended with the side markers. It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it then stay with it (or at least design it for the option of stock fogs :-) ).

Grille opening: I'm sure other folks have pointed this out, but the center opening is too tall - it evokes an image of the offspring from the mating of a last generation Z28 and a carp. OK, it's not that bad, but I think it would look tons better if it was near the scale of the jspec opening but maybe a little bigger. You're definately on the right path, now the proportion of the opening needs to be dialed in.

Intercooler intakes: Can't decide between them - they're both good. The second one looks like you're going for a Porsche Twin Turbo look which isn't bad looking in your concept. I also like to first one because you continue the original design theme and updated it to be more appropriate against current designs.

You've got a future in this business - better get your application in to the Pasadena Design Center soon....
