Nice! You gotta get rid of the infiniti logo and text and use skyline to match your 350GT badge!

I was planning to smoke my headlights adn tail lights, and I was warned by my dealership not to do so. I asked why, and they said that sometimes, cops will stop you and ticket you for smoking your lights. In addition, I was told that the smoked headlights absorb more heat, and over time, the smoking could lead to a yellowing of the head lamps due to absorbption of heat over time. Just a word from my dealership. It looks good in the short-run but I ma not sure how that is, in the long run.

Smoking the headlamps will not cause the lights to grow yellow due to heat absorbsion. The Xenon lights are EXTREMELY hot to the touch to begin with, so if heat caused them to yellow....

I say change the tags... the light covers look nice on your color... I wouldn't think it would work on all colors though... my 2 cents, when are we ever getting euro tailights? Anyone heard anything? Kenrick? how are the deals working overseas?!? lol

Point being you have to do one or the other my friend. Either remove the 350 emblem and keep it as an Infiniti G35, or remove the INFINITI symbol and writing and add the Skyline badges. You have both mixed together right now.

I would personally take all the badges off except the Infiniti symbol, give it the nice clean look.

Smoke tail lights look hot on that dark blue.

I say keep the Infiniti logos and ditch the 350.

here this is what i followed:

How do I add pictures to a post?

To add pictures to a post on NICO, you need to first have an external (outside) host. Many members and staff use Iserve and you can signup there and for a nominal fee, have the ability to not only host and store pictures, but also a full assortment of photo-editing tools and the images aren't deleted after your membership expieres! Other free options include hosts such as photobucket, myspace or facebook. Once you've loaded up your picture, right click on it and you'll see 'properties.' Click on that and you'll see 'Address: (URL).' Highlight that web address, right click, and hit 'copy.'

Now go into your post and type in " [img] " with no quotation marks. After that, right click and hit 'paste.' Now after the address type in " [/img] " with no quotation marks. The [img] tage starts the image command and the backslash "/" ends the command.

It should now read [ img ] http://your picture here. jpg [ /img ] but without the spaces (which are there just for informational purposes.)

Now hit the done button and your image should show up! Congrats! If you have problems and your image doesn't show, make sure you copied the address correctly and the image tags are in place with no spaces. After that, if your still having problems, contact a moderator.

Thanks, I like mine too but sometimes I wish I would have gone with black rims...but I thought that would be too much black. I like your lights, looks great on the pearl white.

Looks great. I have decided my next G will be white. I think you should debadge it and just leave the INFINITI symbol... it would look soooo clean!!

My style though I like being unique, where have you seen 14/13 inch lime green calipers before. Car needed some color, was going for the Settle Seahawks uniform look

BTW I like lime sherbet
