Now that everyone has seen the pics, I couldn't decide if I wanted to add overlays on my head lights, bumper lights, and tail lights. Also I couldn't decide if I wanted to shave the "Infiniti" off the back (but keep the rest) or if i should paint them in a black chrome color (along with the overlays).

With that color, I'd personally do neither (headlights and painting emblems).

Looks great!! Love those rims..

I'm personally going to be removing INFINITI and G35 off of mine but keeping the emblem. I like the clean look...

Dude, your car looks hot. Leave the front alone. Unless you're going CF. Which reminds me. You don't have the front lip spoiler... I'm thinking about doing a CF replica. Interested?

The Coupe has about the cleanest lines of any car, ever. You are going to be hard pressed to make the car any nicer than it already is. I vote for leave it stock.

Not a CF hood, a CF front chin spoiler.

I was actually going to get the OEM front lip, splash guards, and a little drop. I still haven't done my taxes so I'm hoping I would be able to get something with that money. But seriously, no one thinks overlays and black emblems would be a good idea? I'm reconsidering the overlays now, but I'm still iffy on the emblems. I still want to shave the INFINITI and paint the Mt. Fuji and the G35...If anyone would be so kind to photoshop that look... I'm not good at that, and not to mention I don't have the program But thanks for all the compliments!

I tried PSing it, but the picture is too blurry to make out detail. Let me know if you want CF replicas for your car. You could paint them if you didn't want the CF look. I'm super hyped about doing this and you could be my guinea pig (especially since I have the parts to replicate!!!).

I'm interested. For the front lip right? Is it going to be a replica of the OEM lip? Also how much are we looking at, I may not have enough money until my tax returns...

If you want it tomorrow, then go ahead and buy the OEM ABS one. It'll probably take me a couple weeks to produce one. I'm going to replicate my OEM lip and possibly those little aero add ons on the rear bumper.



I'll charge you cost which will be cheaper than the dealer (By far) and probably better than most of the replicas on ebay.

The catch!!! If they come out nice (I won't sell them to you if they don't), I want pictures of your car with them installed.

Deal?

I never cared for overlays on any car. Miht as well lump them with Altezza style taillights as far as I'm concerned.

CF never did it for me either. Functional CF might be ok, but it would still get painted before it went on any car I owned. Then again, there probably isn't any real functional CF available for most cars from the aftermarket...

I'm up in the air about the CF. It depends on the shape and color of the car. If I had a pearl white G35, I would trim the whole car with CF (not so sure about the hood).

My Black coupe? eh...Red might look interesting.

Emblem are waste. Clean up the look, shave them except the mt. fuji.

I think it would look nice in a black chrome look on the mt. fuji too

As for the overlays, no...never
