Post by **kimrober** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 6:29 pm

Just received package from Japan this morning, containing set of chrome c-pillars, b-pillars, mirror covers and a extra set of rear pillar covers from Nissan President. Paid $120 to local body-shop to installed them.Took about 3 hours to finish because taking apart the mirrors took most time. Looks great, will post the pictures as soon as I borrorw digital camera from my friend.

Thanks guys for the compliments I really miss my old chrome rims more now

->Greg, I know how you feel man

The JDM goodies look very nice. Now all you need are some nice shiny wheels to match.

Did you notice if the mirror covers were metal or plastic? Thanks.

That looks sooo hoooot, why did you sell the rims? they also look reall hot, nice color also

I will have to disagree...it ONLY looks all right,not exceptional. My opinion would be different if those add-ons are installed on a darker color Q in order for the chrome to really stand out...chrome pillars and mirrors does very little to any light color vehicle, including the G50s.

It chops the tint pretty good. Whatever floats your boat.

The mirror covers were made of chrome color plastic in and out, identical to USDM version except for some Japanese writing on it next to word 'Nissan'I didn't sell the rims, I still have them. But the front driver side wheel is slightly cracked due to a nasty pot-hole . I'm still trying to find out who can fix or weld the crack.

Drop it like its hot!I dont know what that means, but its what people my age say these days. Nice Q.

Chrome/Black and Chrome/White go together beautifully. Its 90s Cadillac luxury without the floaty ride and head gasket issues.

I like the setup, definately get the chrome rims back to seal the deal! Personally, i would only put the chrome mirror shells on mine, they look hot on those 300c's.

Post by **gniknave** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 6:15 am

Man that is FN hot! I love chrome over pearl!

All he needs to do is lower the car....

Nice Q kim!!!!!

Personally, I would NOT like that on black, but on white, it's very HOT! It sort of ties the the white together. I really dig your old wheels. I think on black, like mine, esp. with tint, it looks like one huge window, I wouldn't want to break that up with chrom pillars.

I'm running on eibach pro-kits. The picture with the rim was taken before any mods were done to car, rims only.I kind of like the chrommy window frame look on the Jaguar's Vanden Plas model, and now I have something similar. I really like the Jaguar cars, but their reliability makes me stay away from them Q lives!

Kim it looks great. Very nice, it looks great withthe white. Now if we can only do something with that tint. lol. Just thinking if you were able to pick up the JDM headlights.

Post by **Rex** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 6:00 pm

Looks good, I just think it (chrome on white) doesn't come across in the pics too well.

Planning on getting another set of wheels if you don't get that one fixed?

Post by **kimrober** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:03 am

I'm still looking for the JDM headlights and corner lights. I asked my sales person at the dealership about ordering OEM parts from Japan, but unfortunately the Infiniti of Honolulu is not part of the Nissan dealership anymore, so it's not possible to order anything from Japan anymore I really like the old rim, but it's been scratched here and there, so getting a new set is another option too. I dig the OZ Opera II wheels, they're so nice!

Post by **NY94J30** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 1:32 pm

Did you see that Heavyduty was selling a set of Opera Is? dont know if theyre still around.

Thats the first time I've ever seen an SC430 without nearly vomiting. Very nice!
