Akebono doesn't come stock on the g35? Are you going g37 stock brake setup?
How much hp/torque puttin down? Is it fun being boosted?

It looks really good, but I would do something with the front. Sorry just my opinion. Looks very functional for the setup tho. Can you explain why you chose this configuration of the fascia?

Car looks damn good, what offset are you running and tire size?

Im going with these:
Image

Most affordable brakes for my budget, besides im not going all out wiht them anyways.

With the S/C, im only doing 280whp, 260tq. Not much, but being that i didnt install or buy it, im happy with it.

The boost is fun, but its not as much power as most people are getting. Im just enjoying the ride for now :)

What dont you like about the front? The actual bumper itself? IVe always been fond of this bumper. Very clean and smooth. I used to have a 2008 Lancer with a more aggressive front, but i wanted to go with cleanliness isntead of aggression this time. It was between this and the Greddy. This one was my favorite, especially since i didnt want to use hte OEM chrome grill with my bumper, and didnt like the stuff for replacement. And even now i dont know, i just got into a rear ender this afternoon, front is all messed up. Maybe time for a change. Iuno :(


Tire specs are 245/35/zr20 front and 275/30/zr20 rear. I have this setup because they were on my original wheels (rear wheel was only 10inch wide, hence the thiner tire.) I will be going stretch in the front, and get a bit more flushness soon, after i fix my car.

And i dont have the wheel offsets. Rear was customized to fit an extra inch lip, so i havent figured it out yet. Never took the time to find out.

No way man!!!!

that's crazy. Good to hear you're ok tho. Cool so the front will be changed? I don't like all the mesh in the front of the bumper. I need more plastic! lol or fiberglass, whichever.

Overall the appearance of the car is fantasic. I love the "murdered" look. I did think you were putting more to the wheels? Especially with that beast of a motor.

Well good luck with the new look! post up some pics when you're finished!

I at first wanted to go with Inven, because i LOVE the look of it. However, i saw it on a few blacks, and i didnt like the way it looked. always looked more aggressive on dark grey or white. So i went with greddy.

I am thinking of doing the same brake set up. Where did you go for pricing or have you looked yet. I believe Riverside Infiniti has them for $1900.
