@daren_ipl By no means am I even remotely good at photoshop, heck I'm barely a beginner; but for the purpose of sharing I guess I'll attempt a mediocre replacement of the left tail with a random one I found online. I guess something is better than nothing right? :P

Thanks Jesse550, those look good actually. I'm gonna look them up and probaly order them I think I'm gonna go with the black chrome since it looks real nice on one of the previous replies to this thread.

Gonna make the front emblem the same black chrome. But now my front grill it makes me wonder if i should leave it chrome or make it matte black or flat black?

Thanks for input guys

I think you should take the IPL off as well.

There's also a version of the GT-R Tails that have a lighter shade of black if that's too dark for your taste, I plan on ordering those GT-R tails soon for my own G


Y U use my pic without permission?

LOL just playing man.

Yes, I love my GTR tails. I got the darker 6/10 shade. He also has 3/10.

You can also check out 180 Customs, they can actually smoke/paint your taillights GTR style. It's a much much cleaner look.


And regarding OP's emblems... depends on what your plans for the rest of your car. If you go with gloss of matte black grill and diffuser, then match your emblems with those.

Did a quick mockup, I think it looks pretty cool with your color, definitely draws more attention to the tails.


Even better with the bluebat GT-R overlays + only blacking out the silver on the IPL
NICE JOB! I'd still leave the Infiniti logo tho

Looks awesome! How much did you pay total for them and how long did they take to ship?
