Below is a link to a white Q45. I was wondering if you guys prefer a white car to have all the trim/moldings to be painted the same color as you see in the link. I actually like the wheels on that car and would like to know what front spoiler it has.

I clicked that link expecting to dislike what I saw. But I actually think body-color trim looks quite good. The grille on that car needs to go, and the wheels are definitely not my style, but the white trim is a nice touch. I think I would go a step further and paint the door handles as well. I hate chrome door handles.

Edit:That white interior is INCREDIBLE!

Looks very nice with all the trims painted to match the body color. I gives updated look.The front bumper is from Impul with the fog lamp. Go for it!

Looks pretty normal like a later G50, but for Shamu interior (CF Seat back frames?) and the fakey grille nose.

Glad he didn't white out the glass dividers, and chrome handles are so G50 Q45.

Looks pretty decent. I'm not a fan of the fake grille either, but at least he molded it on. Personally, I prefer the chrome trim around the car, it's something the USDM F50 lacks that the Japanese F50 Cima has.

The rhinoplasty ruins the side profile.

Looks good. At least he tried to make the grill look more like it belongs rather than the screwed on look.I'm not sure about the curtains. I think(assume) it's a Japanese pimp thing to do. I guess Kevin knows a lot more about it and is used to it.

I wonder if ANYONE on this board has ever actually driven a JDM G50?

Good looking car, but "almost" Amana-ish.

The "Shamoo" interior is a like it or not thing, and I don't. But that may be the practical side of me that can't imagine living with white leather interior.

I really like the nose, but would ike to have seen the grille "raked" a little bit.

I've got shamu myself and it's not the easiest thing to keep it clean, but I have gotten used to it. I like it now. The Impul front bumper would look better if they kept the bumper grille instead putting that snout grille it currently has. I'm not a fan of the cream or white paint with the Shamu interior. It would get old really quick with me.

The accent paint on the rockers, splash guards, body side and simulated bumper strips on the 90-93's works and is just fine.

I usually prefer a monochromatic look though and with those items matching the body color is a good look in any color.

Color matched splash guards and lower rockers on 90-93 G50's flow better with the body than the ones that are on 94-96's.

The Impul front valance is a nice touch but the Stillen/Impul rear wing is simply colossal. I'd rather have the M3 style rear lip like Sijoko's or one of the Q45t rear spoilers for G50's.

The G50 Presidents look nice with the subtle chromed splash guards with chrome rockers though.



The 97-06 (F)Y33 and F50 Q45's look better without any splash guards at all IMHO.
