That actually looks real good. The blue edging on the chrome Fuju is much more subtle than I thought it would be. Very well done, Tanner!
Although why you painted the grille while still on the car is way too much effort. Just remove it.

Thank you. I used 6 coats of a trim paint I picked up at AutoZone as well as a combination of deep blue metallic paints picked up at the same place.
Next weekend (hopefully), Ill be Doing the back fuji by taking it off lowering it a couple inches and then doing the same affect on it as well as the X in G37X. Im not sure I if i should do the same blue outline effect on the X or if I should simply paint it that metallic blue fully. After that I will be painting the chrome lip to match the body paint, and then doing the bottom chrome door trim in a gloss black vinyl. Then I'm going to Plastidip my wheels and rear tail lights...jk.

Thanks! Took time and i constantly had to clean pollen off but it worked out.

Yeah I love the effect that it gives from a few feet a way that its glowing blue. At about 20 feet away you can't even tell its blue at all. And Blnewt, sure send it my way! Although you'd be riding around w/ a gap toothed car for a while LOL.

And since you've got this painting thing down you might consider my GTR tails, I still can supply the vinyl templates~

As far as the trunk, IMO it would look best to remove all the letters (plus they are a PITA to detail around) and just leave your modified & lowered Fuji logo. It really cleans up the look back there and will draw attention to that logo. Everything else back there just clutters it up, again, just my opinion.

The emblem came out great Tanner really nice work man. As for the rear I'd highly suggest de-badging and only keep and lowering the the Fuji emblem about an inch for sure! Coming from someone who really wasn't a fan at all of the look and wanted to keep my infiniti g37xs emblems in the rear and deciding last second not to I must say I'm so glad I chose this route.
