Hi all,

Im a infiniti fan. But I like to keep my car stock as much as possible but at the same time, i like to give it a different look.

I tint the front two silver bumper support. I wanted the front to have a smooth black front bottom , I didn't like the two silver bumper support. Then, I spray paint the front grille in black and did the same to the rims. I added HIDs 8K all four. I also did a paint job so match the black and give it that unique look. I'm planning on spray painting the top roof of black. But I think it might be to much. What you guys think? Some say it would look really nice. I do too. but Some people say it won't.

BTW. I also added pictures of before and after. The 1st day I saw my car at the dealer and now.

I also added blue LED interior lights all 6 lights and also the rear plate light.. I did this before I did paint job. I like the color blue.
:)

See pictures.

So you're saying yes get it black? I might just do that, just in case I change my mind.

Welcome to NICO...if you're adding 'black' to the theme of your car, then going with a black vinyl wrapped roof will go well...I added that to my car about 2 years ago and it still looks good...I went with gloss black. also you can go the route of adding black to the emblems...tinted taillights OR -- ultimately do an 08 front bumper swap.... :naughty:

after I did the front bumper swap, it really changed the look of the car and I appreciate it more and more....I did it about 1.5 yrs ago....

here's some old pix....

SilverM3506, I like what you did with the bumper supports & the HID bulbs. Not a fan of black wheels or anything else... but that is just me. When I see black wheels, they remind me of base model cars too cheap for hubcaps.

gloss black roof would look great, i wouldnt sticker bomb it...

If you keep those wheels, lower it a little on springs, the car would look very clean...

Idle question, does the blue interior lights get annoying? I guess that only really applies if you sit in there with the lights on. Just curious because it ran across my mind a long time ago to do blue but shied away from it because of that thought.

Makes sense, worked our great for your vinyl wrap roof cuz I heard that it is difficult to wrap the antenna.

I have blue lights everywhere except for the top map lights, IMO blue is not good for reading and looking for lost things.

hey thanks! :dblthumb:

I love the Diamond Graphite color of my M...I've always had black cars so this was a nice change for me.

Dark Navy blue is still a great color...you should see another member's car, Larz, his car is black and he's done a lot of exterior mods to it and it still looks classy and clean! Roof spoiler, trunk spoiler, exterior lighting, smoke taillights, etc...just to name a few mods you can do :bigthumb:

let the forum know if you have questions...
