Mmm I'm not sure. When I bought my G, the previous owner already had it installed. But I did notice it's a lot better than the other G's that I test drove with the stock setup.

I got some updates from the shop. My car is almost done. Mirrors are on, bumper and headlights. Not sure where my grill is. Hoping to get the car back this week.
i have a scheduled tune with Eugene as soon as I have my parts installed.
i also sent out my headers to get coated.
Headlight fully function on the car.
I prefer this look a lot more.

Front end is looking amazing. I wish I could get some LED blinkers in my carbon fiber mirror caps. I have the RJM pedal Rev 3.2. I did not install it but the techs at Infiniti said it was a pain. I do have some random clicking noise coming from the pedal area that starts around 3k RPMs and the frequency of the sound speeds up as my RPMS climb to redline. Infiniti would never admit to anything. So it's been almost 3 years (25k miles) and it still does it but nothing has gone wrong. Not sure what it is but it is tough getting under there to work on it. Removing the seat and laying some padding down is the most comfortable way to do it.
Having said that; make sure if the shop is installing it to test drive it and adjust it before saying you're satisfied. Did you get the Rev 3.3 version? It has the AFP setting pre-calibrated.

I finally got the car back this past weekend. Overall, it pretty much the same, but having a new freshly painted bumper makes the car look so much better. The headlights really came out awesome, and seeing it in person blew me away. My wife hated my previous headlights and was happy how these look on the car.
I also took the opportunity to install my new exhaust, the muffler delete was too droning for me, it was also just a temporary setup since I had sold the Motordyne. I wasn't careful and manage to break the v-band clamp so I have an exhaust leak. Got a new on coming in this weekend to fix this. Even with the leak, the car still sounds good to me. Very deep tone, doesn't drone when cruising.
The muffler doesn't come out too far, so for a single exit, it more subtle to me.
Hopefully I'll be able to swap my current ported upper/lower manifold for my new setup this weekend.

I hadn't had much time to do everything I'd like since having the car back.
I uploaded a quick update on the car on my channel.
I did have to sand down one area on the new upper manifold because of a rough and uneven spot. Hopefully I'll get some time to swap my upper and lower this week.

I can get right in your headspace on this, feeling that new car vibe on a White sport sedan with the Stone leather interior.
Love those mirrors. I think it's a very upscale touch. And while I don't entirely love the light strip in the headlights, I do love the way they blink in amber unison with the side mirrors, and how it draws your eye to the metallic orange calipers. That looks fantastic. There's a lot to like here.

The mirrors were something I've had my heart set on for a while, definitely one of my favorite cosmetic mod.
I just have to make sure i keep the car clean like this from now on. You car is always looking so good.

I had some free time over the weekend and had an itch to work on the car.
I originally had the Ultra Racing front strut bar for sale since I thought it wouldn't fit with the EPS throttle body kit. I figured I'd at least give it a shot.
Its a tight fit but it fits.
