Got the lip spoiler for the trunk! Changed the look of the entire car, looks much sportier just by adding this little piece.
The pic is with spoiler not installed yet its just sitting on the trunk. Got it from the dealer $180

Adjusted the pre-load on my front coilovers as I had some spring binding going on. Driver side is good now, but need to adjust passenger side even more. After working with BC tech support, I'm just glad my coilovers are in fact 100% working and it wasn't something serious.

I gave her a nice warm, relaxing bath....rubbed down her legs, made sure her heels were nice and smooth...cleaned all the dirty areas....dried her curves with a soft terry cloth....spritzed her down with a little Meguires... The I got in her and really got down to it. Rubbed down her seats with a conditioning cream, got down between....the seats...cleaned the glass.... After she was nice and shiny, I put her on 270N and blew out a little carbon from her tight rear end...... :naughty:

Oh...did I say I washed my car?

With fine weather (finally) I broke out the Porter-Cable DA polisher and used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. With the black obsidian paint and the notoriously soft clearcoat, it's the only way to get a proper shine. Next come the leather seats for some conditioning!

Sounds really good :) I`ve had the megan midpipe and axles on for little over six months and the sound was great and louder the first week then in mellowed down a bit . Two weeks ago I installed a new y-pipe and that had really woken up the aggressive sound, maybe even a bit too loud but the y pipe should break in and get quieter . I will have to make a video aswell :dblthumb:

I thought k break had a grill separate from the front bumper. Is there any reason why you're installing it prior to paint? I'm not a huge fan of that kit but if you paint it right it can look good!

the grill ad front bumper are seperate but we put it on as one. Main reason for installing first is to test fit prior to paint and to get my wife used to driving the car w/ the new bumper. Rather deal w/ mismatched paint for a week while she gets accustomed to the lower bumper vs paint chips from scraping everywhere

Just installed my new JWT Pop Charger and Z-tube yesterday. Sounds great when I open her up. Has much better throttle response in my opinion. Hoping soon to add a full exhaust system soon with Motordyne Art Pipes and XYZ Pipe. Debating on the MXP or Megan exhaust. Will have the MXP exhaust video up soon for those of you that might be interested there is a post or PM. If we get a big solid Buying group we will all get a better deal. Hoping we will have video and pics by the end of this month.

Cleaned the engine Bay and shined it up real real nice. I know some are against the engine shine because it attracts more road grime but I like it. I also added the "S" Badge to the back of the car.

On Friday night; I ordered the rear spoiler from an online infiniti dealer source for parts. On another thread, someone explained that different colors could be had for different prices and sure enough, I picked up the pearl white spoiler for 47 bucks shipped. Once I get it, I'll paint it and install it when I get the chance. Heres some pics!

You can see how the badge comes in a blue foam holder thing. I just removed the "M45" part of the badge and left the "S". I went to the car and fit my existing "M45" into the foam so I can have a straight lined application and just applied the "S" firmly.

I may have overkilled on the pics but boy do I love pics and detailed images!
The pics may also get you guys to want to clean your dirty bay's.

I used the brand Gunk, Engine De-greaser as well as Gunk Engine Shine.

Took it to a cleaning bay with pressure washer, took off the 2 plastic pieces and sprayed the de-greaser all over the engine. Scrubbed the areas I could with a brush and sprayed down the entire engine with the pressure washer (from a distance). I dried areas that may form visible dry water spots with a rag, closed the hood and cleaned the front of the car to remove possible over spray from the de-greaser so the paint wont get damaged. Drove it home and used the engine heat from the ride to finish drying her up before spraying some shine on the engine.

I didn't cover any parts of the engine and I also didnt clean inside the Battery bay or Brake fluid area.
