So far i have gotten my windows tinted 35s in the front and 20s in the back and have gotten my tailights sprayed.
I was thinking to get my wheels plastidipped black with a glossy finish and painting my calibers red, does anyone have a picture on what that would like like?
anything else i can do? and debating on whether i should get the car lowered or not, only thing im worried about is the car hitting curbs and what not

heres what my car looks like right now

Nice to start w/ a clean slate. Here's a thread of what my Black Gs gone through from bone stock, to dropped, vinyl overlays on my headlights & taillights which are now painted (much better IMO), black window vinyl trim, debadged trunk except for Mt. Fuji, a different look for my wheels, to a plasti dipped grill that's now carbon wrapped (again, much better IMO), new exhaust, and yes, painted calipers~it's all in the thread except for a pic of it as total stock. IMO I wouldn't paint the calipers red, don't really want to attract attention to stock calipers, the big brake kits like the stock brakes on the S models, those look really nice in various colors. Stock calipers look best in silver or black, again IMO. I've got some caliper pics on page 2 or 3 of this thread. I've also got some DIY links for the vinyl trim and the taillights if you're interested. Have fun w/ your new mods and keep us posted as you go!

A nice drop would make it look really attractive. Looks like it has a lot of space in the wheel wells that need shrinking.

I would do the chrome trunk spoiler to black. Black out the chrome window trim. Debadge Infiniti and 37X.

For your taillights, the shade looks a little too dark. Has it been buffed out? Looks matte at the rear angle.

I like what others are saying too. Drop and de-badge the trunk. Would look cleaner.

OP sorry for the Hijack but can someone give us some tips on the taillights. I did this to my old 03 altima (Before I try my G) and the same thing happened. They came out very cloudy and not shiny. What can we do to make them shiny? P.S I sanded and buffed.

^ Well you would sand inbetween layers of spraying actually. But the grit would be fine to remove any kind of cloudiness/make smooth/lighten layer. Then following the last layer with sand and buff. The key thing is amount of spray you use between layers actually. I believe there is a DIY here:

Don't mean to intervene, but I wouldn't PlastiDip the wheels though. My opinion, it would look cheap, and would hurt the overall stance.

Yeah, that would look sweet. Hell yeah, why not?! I mean, if your trying to go for the full murder black out. I personally dont like plastidip. I would rather paint.

Try buffing them out if possible. Are the tail lights smooth? Or rough?
Good luck bro! Good start!

I second not plastidipping your rims.
It'll look pretty cheap.
