I like it, surprisingly. I do think the stock wheel color kind of clashes...maybe some Z16 polished wheels, or even a dark gray wheel would look good.

I would be willing to bet that is a locking lug nut or simply just a missing lug nut cap

Looks like the 50th paint.

Would look killer with some polished Zo6 wheels.

I almost painted my Z a very similar color. In the end, I decided to go blue instead. I really like red though!

Cool to see a different color on a Z if i had to have a red car that would be a cool one. Car would look even cooler with some polish alum. wheels like fiske 10s!!

I love it ! Nice job !
My wife LOVES that color too.

I agree with the above.... Add some brighter color wheels (Polished/Brushed).

I would also have asked the seller if it was repainted because he wanted to paint it... or it needed to be painted for a reason...
