Dang it! I was considering that because I hadn't seen anyone else with it LOL. Now back to the drawing board...

Kidding aside, that looks very nice.


Edit: was seriously considering it for wrapping the washi trim at least. Still not a no, but I did want something unique. OTOH, it does look very nice.

It really is. You expect to just pull out the old one and slip in the new, but there's so much freaking engine bay trim that has to get removed first.

And then of course it's freaking heavy and in an awkward, tight location.

rant rant rant... LOL

Totally. Had to stare at it for a while before I realized what trim to clear out of the way.

At least Infiniti was smart enough to split that weather stripping under the windshield in half.

So John, plans to wrap the back panel you added with the same CF wrap you did for the sides?
Oh, and on another note, I'm wrapping another steering wheel with slightly different leather and have a light/dark grey redline wrapped steering wheel that just so happens to match your interior that will be taking up space in storage. Yours if you want it.

Nope, no plans. I like the blank plate in matte black.

PM me about the steering wheel, I don't think I understand your offer.

its either the front or rear sunroof drain tubes that are leaking. Very common.

Changed out the spark plugs at 100,675 miles! Unfortunately, I managed to over-tighten one of the throttle body bolts into the intake plenum and stripped the thread (metal into plastic is BAD) but it seems to have sealed without issue. There was a torque spec (14 ft-lb) so that's how I ended up doing that. However, it seems to have sealed fine so I might just send it until I figure out how to tap that bolt.
