Thanks Rochester, will be changing some of that out soon. Got too many mods I've tackled this past month. Scored me some JDM Skyline taillights so some engine bay money went to that. Don't want to upset the wifey with all these purchases...lol

What's different on the tails JDM vs US?

JDM tail lights have oem amber turn signals an no side marker in the housing. USDM had red turn signal and a side marker.

Not clean at all. Snapped a quick pic after I installed the Cusco bar. Been working 7 days a week since beg Jan, so its a work in progress haha.

Aren't rear signals red by traffic law? I'm guessing the side-marker is a state-by-state requirement. Be interesting to see both side-by-side to evaluate.

In any event... off-topic. Thanks for the info.

Amber color turn signals and more of a cherry red housing color. Kind of hard to capture it in a picture though. Let me find a pic of it and upload it.

Red and amber are both legal. Many cars in the us come with amber blinkers. Never heard of any issues about side markers. ive had mine for over 3 years now.

Some quick Google to DMV sites, and it seems these rules vary by state.

Time to revive this thread. Finally got around to purchasing a Cusco strut bar. Actually snagged one up from IPL 370GT off of here. Had a few scratches on the bar but it has been sanded and polished. Still needs some more polishing to get it back to mirror like finish, but its close. Also been thinking about painting or wrapping the engine cover and radiator shroud, finally decided to give painting it a try. Spent a few hours on both pieces with lots of sanding for that super smooth finish. Overall I'm very happy with the results. I just need my Takeda Long tubes and a stainless bolts... Anyways, onto some not so great pictures I took with my iPhone.







PS: It looks way better in person

^^ I'm digging the gold.

Me too. TwoThree's gold engine cover made me go through about 6 different rattle-cans, and endless hours of photoshopping various shades, before I found the color I liked.

Here's the finished work. It's a non-metallic gold, in a satin finish.

Looks really good man. I say paint that Infiniti emblem though. I'm not a fan of the chrome on the gold. It needs more contrast IMO.
