You'll have to PM Roger about his old sedan. He moved on to a Nismo Z four years ago.

Ahh, thanks Rochester. Quite a worthy upgrade!

That looks a lot like mine (40%). I'd say that's no darker than 35% - I work for a 3M dealer so I'm around film a lot!

well that’s convenient. Tint is going to be one of my next mods and I’m thinking I want to do 35% so it’s considerably darker but I can still see at night.

it has actually broken in quite a bit even just being installed two days ago. So I will probably be getting some video clips here in the next day or two. It sounds really good so far. It drones kind of bad on cold start and around 3k when accelerating so I just ordered some sound deadener mats to line the trunk. I’ll try to document that process and it’s effects as well.

I like it, but since its so different, it probably will take some time getting used to it. Curious though, what most G owners think

I accidentally clicked edit on your post instead of reply, my bad.
I dont hate it, although it feels like something is missing. Emblem perhaps?

That actually isn't a bad idea. What do you think about the emblem being red? Think it might wash out?

+ 1 vote for emblem. It needs it.
On another note your black accents (hood, lights, grills,) which are some of the biggest accents in the car don't seem to get along with the intakes.
The grill opens this space and moves all of the focus to the intakes. Looks like the FIJI was photoshoped (if so great job on that). You may want to try editing the intakes and possibly fog trims.

I think red works.

I just quickly photoshopped it on, no lighting adjustments so looks fake lol.
P.S. you are about 7200km off on the Fiji.

I think it looks more complete with the emblem, but that's just my opinion because that's just what I'm used to. To each their own so if you like it without anything but the mesh, then leave it. It might just be me, but your front bumper looks an awful lot like the coupe's bumper. Am I on the right track with that or am I just going crazy lol

The intake tubes aren't balanced to one another, which you can see pretty easily. It really stands out because of the mesh.

What if the grille were gloss black, and there were a black charcoal filter pad on the backside of that mesh?

I like the Fuji, more so in chrome than red, but either way better with than without, IMO. But you know, I'm really not digging the black hood, and I doubt you'll be painting that.

Just bought a lathe.... Going to be making custom volume *****, and a shift **** sleeve styled after Tommy Kira shift ***** to go over the b2autodesigns shifter. I have so many ideas!

Lathes are VERY fun tools, indeed. I've got to get my little HF/Grizzly running again.
