New Member from Canada "new pics"

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

Hello everyone!

I'm a new member on the Nicoclub.com... I've been a car enthusiast for more than 10 years but I've always had Honda/Acura's and a STi...

In december I decided to buy a full equiped EX35 with brown interior... I decided to go with EX35 for the look, confort, options and performance/handling.

So here's what I did to it up to now...

- Lamin-X yellow fog lights covers
- Rear Licence plate LED bulbs
- StanceNation licence plate frame
- IPL badge (why not... :P)
- Lamin-X smoke reverse lights
- G37 coupe muffler
- G35X 2007-08 eibach springs
- TSW Bardo wheels 20X10 +25 with falken tires 255/35/20 and black extended lug nuts

Next mod... intake. Not sure if I'm going with the Stillen V3 or the K&N CAI ( cold box)...


Here are 2 pics:

Welcome. I go to Toronto for business, and am always amazed at how many more EXs I see up there than here in Ohio.

I grew up in Boston so I remember pot holes. Moved to Florida 18 years ago and haven't looked back. Rarely do I ever see a real pot hole. Most roads are smooth and in the summer the cars stick like their on rails around tight corners. I just bought my ex recently but I am looking forward to 90 degree weather which will be here soon. :)

thanks!

I love the offset on them!

And with the low profile tires, it increased the handling too...

Very nice...like the 20's!! How's the ride with 20x10? I have three sets of 20s - FX 20x8, and two sets of MRR 20x8.5. Was worried about about going that wide...but love the look!

20X10 is perfect if the have the proper drop. When I installed them with the stock suspension, it was UGLY!!!

But I have no rubbing problem at all and I'm running 255 at each corners.

As for the the ride, It's wayyy stiffer (running low profil tires 35's) ... but still really fun to drive.
