Hello everyone...this is actually my first time posting so bear with me...LOL! I recent just finished my Q45 project and thought I should post some pics of it. Its a 1999 Infiniti Q45t...black on black. It is currently sporting a JDS bodykit (First in the USA to my understanding), 22" VIP Modular VR07's with a custom Bronze texted finish and custom wrinkle flat black lips. Tell me what you think about the car.

Thanks!

Are you talking about the kit or wheels? You can contact Car Studio USA or ISG (InSixthGear) for the JDS kit. You can also contact ISG for the wheels or call VIP direct I believe. I hope I answered your question.

I know...I'm thinking of going back to chrome lips instead. The whole blacked theme is cool but I think its a bit much...haha! As far as suspension, I'm running stock shocks with tein s-tech springs...haha (I know, sorta ghetto! ). I just waiting for my coilovers to arrive.

Not bad but the 1997-1998 Q45t spoiler looks like its missing something on a 1999-2001 Q45, it just doesn't look right.

Yeah...I originally ordered the JDS wing but when it arrived they accidentally sent me the one for the F50. So my options were to either go without a wing or go with the OEM...I chose to go with the OEM wing. The car just looks plain without it and I went the 97-98 wing because I just didn't like the 99-01 wing...lol!

What kind of offset you running? did you roll all your fenders? kit is so sleek it looks amazing, wheels are unique looking have you considered putting the chrome body line back on rather than chroming wheel lips? Beautiful job though kit is clean

I'm not sure on the offset because custom made these wheels for my car. As for the fenders...i didnt have to do anything with the fronts but i did cut the rear quarter panels to give it that flush look. I thought about doing the trim but I just liked the idea of blacking everything out.

In the front I'm running a 235/30/22 and 265/30/22 in the rear. It gives me the perfect stretch that i needed.

super nice, I had some 22s on my 00 q for awhile but seattle streets are no good for small tires lightly put it wasnt worth it at all, after about 3 months of having perfect 22s the inevitable happened, I hit a small pot hole and dented a wheel, then a few months later another pot hole soon enough the car rode like total crap on the freeway and since the diameter of the wheels was so big when I dipped into anything on the road it was destroying my suspension

lesson learned, if u want 22s on your y33 u cant leave the stock suspension it just cant handle it, unless u live in an area that is really flat and good roads

I think I had a +10 offset, looks really similiar to your q, but man I miss the way the car looked

ur car looks great man, bet u can fit a business card in between your tire and spring seat but not a credit card thats how mine was

The black colored accents on the IMPUL kit makes the kit look significantly better.
