Dont miss the important parts of my posts. I wanted to see if I'd like the look. So $6 to get the look, knowing it easily comes off if I dont like it....or $175 to make it permanent right out of the gate.

Plasti dip is the "try it before you buy it" approach for me.

You really need to stop bashing on people with "it's not a 20K car." I bought mine for 20k so it IS a 20K car to me. Let everyone do what they want. If you don't like it, say you don't like it. Don't tell them it's "wrong".


Anyways, the back looks good bro! If that's an OEM midnight grille you got, I probably woulda kept it like that :P there's pretty high demand for those grilles. Also, check out the plasti dip glossifier, it'll shiny up your plasti dip and make it look closer to a paint job!

It is...but I didnt like the chrome strips and the chrome Fuji on it. If the plasti dip proves to not hold up well I'll be shopping for a replacement grill in all black. Havent found one so far though.

Ahhhhhhh, if you do, lemme know, I think we can work something out I got an OEM in gloss black, but I'm starting to like the midnight waaaay better.

The OEM midnight is what you have. They don't make an OEM all black, you have to get it custom painted.

You can have your Infiniti dealer order you one. I think OC Infiniti has the best price. The are listed under the F.S by vendor.

The front Fuji does not come pre painted.. I had to pay a body shop to wet sand it down and custom paint it for me.

Slowly the plasti dip starts getting dirty so you clean it...you clean it till it's squeaky clean but a few days later it's dirty again.

Then...then one day...one day you get a painted part...and you realize...you realize all this time you were wrong but you won't admit it. You take a look at your plasti dipped wheels, and you say...damn...they were right.


And that, that is how it went for me. but seriously, lets see those pics
I haven't been on a lot but say it ain't so, bro! You were a SUPER plasti-dip advocate. it looked hot too lol.

I don't think YOU understand that unless you are buying these cars for people, they can do whatever THEY want to do.

There's nothing to an INFINITI. It's a freaking NISSAN with a bloated price. Get over yourself and let the guy do what he wants to do.
