Well, the dipped trunk lip looks kind of interesting.

But it's a solid "No" from me for your grille and front bumper.

I've actually been getting a lot of compliments in person and at the dealer... The oem grill was just too much chrome for me... It had to go! The chrome trims are next! lol

Not everyone's going to like it, but I really like that you're thinking outside the box and going for a unique look for a white G, definitely not boring and you're making it your own, look forward to it's progress.

Sounds good to me! I should be able to show up since it's a Sunday! Or maybe in my brother's GTR depending on if he is going.

No I did not have to sand it... just make sure to clean it well once you spray it. I would recommend taking it out, it will make it a whole lot easier.

check out the grill removal DIY (in the DIY section) takes about 10 minutes to remove grill and it'll turn out better since you can get paint around all the corners and other spots.

+1 on removing the grille.

The first time you do it, it might be more like an hour. Takes a while to figure things out, how to move things about without snapping plastic bits, how to un-clip the wire harness, etc. The second time, easily 10 minutes.

In fact, you might want to make learning how to remove and re-install the grille a little project before you commit the time to painting it.

Actually takes me about 5 minutes since I don't take off the shroud, just pop the snap clips, remove 2 coolant tank bolts and just tilt the shroud to access the 5 grill nuts. Those two plastic dowels that go into the shroud (unseen) are the tricky ones for a first timer IMO.
