Did you think of upgrading with integrated antenna spoiler which gets rid of whip antenna and the chrome spoiler?

Welcome & congrats on your new ride. I don't have much imagination so I need to see the rims on the car to confirm I like them but my initial indication is that they will be awesome!

I also like the smoked tails - are they painted or an overlay? Where are you in NJ? I am in Bergen County.

No I did not debadge the car - added integrated spoiler kit see below but the one below is like yours: The photo of a vert owner who got the spoiler kit from me.

I'll post another photo soon..

Photos can look any one fat.... in real I bet your car would lot better with integrated antenna spoiler than with what you have now... IMHO

On sedan - it makes not much different as the antenna is on the roof not on the trunk....

on the convertible the whip antenna sticking up from the trunk is like sore thumb.... integrated antenna spoiler cleans the look and improves the lines and whole lot more...imho

Yes, the integrated antenna spoiler for G37 convertibles are pricey (MSRP in US is $1005 and in Canada $1675) but these are not available from dealers either, I happened to find handful one for my car and few other that I have given to vert owners at my cost+shipping.

Just gonna give my two cents as well about the rear deck spoiler. I think if you ask all the NICO members that have the spoiler, including myself, they will say they are extremely happy with the look of the spoiler. Pictures definitely do not do it justice, and it is not as big (or fat) as that picture shows. I have had mine for a year now and I love it. I go back and look at pics of when I first got the car (with the whip antenna), and I can't even imagine ever having the car without the spoiler.

The spoilers are hard to find right now, since they currently have stopped production. My advice is if one is available in your color and you can get it, you won't be disappointed. Seeing one in person would help a great deal too, LOL, but not sure if you will be able to... And remember, the convertible spoiler is quite different than the coupe's add-on spoiler, both in size and functionality. And if you can't get the spoiler, it's not the end of the world, and you still have a sweet looking ride!

Infiniti lineup...

check out the "share your ride" thread. You can find my pics of my car with the rear deck spoiler (in athens blue like cmesurf :bigthumb: )

right click on the picture and open up the picture in a new window in order to see the full picture. For some reason, my pictures were cut off when posting to the thread...

Dare to be different - you should have done white to match the car...

Good constructive comments are healthy for the forum users. I think you may want now red spoiler to match:>?

Sorry Bro -
I didnt mean for my post to come off overly critical.
Based on the photos you posted (in the dark with heavy flash) the only thing I noticed were the calipers. :gotme

Post up some daytime pics & give us all a real look at your baby.
